Ireland
Connaught gold "St. Catherine" Medal 1662 VF30 NGC, 25mm. 10.07gm. MI-491/114var (gold). Possibly unique, a complimentary metal to Queen Catherine of Braganza who married Charles II in 1662. Gold emissions from Ireland are exceptionally rare and always popular - this piece is lightly rubbed in line with the grade but remains a firm VF with appealing sun-yellow color, some double striking evident in the legends.
