William IV gold Proof Coronation Medal 1831 PR61 Cameo NGC, BHM-1475, Eimer-1251. By William Wyon. Only 1203 examples of this medal were produced in gold, and of this low mintage 238 were subsequently melted leaving just 965 remaining. Numerous bagmarks and hairlines pepper the fields in line with the grade, a common attribute of this type; William and Adelaide's portrait exhibit light frosting in contrast to the glossier fields behind. Richly colored and seldom offered at auction, a pleasing coronation piece.
