Victoria gold Specimen "Coronation" Medal 1838 SP62 PCGS, Eimer-1315, BHM-1801. 37mm. 30.71gm. By Benedetto Pistrucci. Just 1,369 specimens of this medal were struck, and it remains amongst the most popular of the British gold coronation series. Its engraver, Benedetto Pistrucci, combines elements from some of the most celebrated British coins: 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 example is remarkably unscathed for type, every element of the designs boldly struck and well-preserved, the color a warm flame-yellow with abundant reflectivity.
