Republic bronze "Pretoria-Delagoa Railway" Medal 1895 MS65 Brown NGC, 43mm, Moyaux-52, Hern-16. By J. P. M. Menger. A highly pleasing issue with burnt sienna fields that express a considerable brightness and subtle iridescence when rotated in hand. The devices feel darkened and finely etched as if in stone, a pleasing complement to the reverse design which appears evocative of neoclassical imagery.
