GREAT BRITAIN. York Minster Oak & Bell Metal Engraved uniface Medal or Box Lid, 1840. EXTREMELY FINE.
41mm; 30.43 gms. cf. Noble 91, lot 4037 (for a similar example). Featuring a side view of York Minster, this piece--and others like it--were engraved from the metal salvaged following a fire in 1840. Previously, the edifice had been set ablaze in 1829, with other reliquary items made from the ruins. A RARE and interesting relic.
Estimate: $75.00- $150.00
