British Coins, George V, Coronation Commemorative Medal, 1911, double-sided lead impressions of the large official medal, crowned busts of the King and Queen Mary to l., with inscriptions around, 51mm. (BHM.4022; Eimer 1922; W&E.5035), good very fine
*ex Colin Mackennal Kraay Collection and Baldwin's vault
The impression ... taken from dies, presumably because it was not until 10th October that an obverse matrix was made from the reduction punches of May 1911. The two impressions (see following lot) come from the same pair of dies but these particular dies seem not to be present among the dies now in the Royal Mint collection.
($350-450)
