Victoria gold Specimen Coronation Medal 1838 SP62 PCGS, Eimer-1315, BHM-1801. 30.76gm. This vastly pursued gold engraving by Benedetto Pistrucci combines elements from some of the most celebrated coins of the British series: the reverse depicting young Victoria seated on her throne beside a lion, being presented the crown by Britannia, Hibernia and Scotia, the 'three graces' with arms around one another. On the obverse, we see the sculptured likeness of the 19-year old Victoria rendered proudly from the reflective fields behind. This well-preserved specimen displays the trademark high relief visages, with only whisper of chatter in the fields, an undeniably appealing for the connoisseur of British medals and Victorian specialists.
