Freemasonry: George Drummond (1687-1766) and the Foundation of the Edinburgh Exchange, copper medal, 1753, unsigned, bewigged bust of Drummond l., before the Exchange, G. DRUMMOND ARCHITECT. SCOT. SUMMUS. MAGIS. EDIN. TER. COS., rev. arms of the Freemasons of Scotland, IN THE LORD IS ALL OUR TRUST, 30.5mm. (MI.671/382, in silver only; Shackles [1901], 97, silver), only very fine but extremely rare
Translated, the obverse legend refers to Drummond as 'Grand Master of the Freemasons of Scotland, three times Provost of Edinburgh'. The example in the Shackles collection is an electrotype; that listed in MI is an example in the Hunterian Museum; Shackles lists his source as National Museums of Scotland, so possibly the same piece.
(200-300 GBP)
