GREAT BRITAIN. Victoria Golden Jubilee Silver Medal, 1887. London Mint. UNCIRCULATED.
BHM-3219; Eimer-1733b. By L. C. Wyon. Diameter: 77mm; Weight: 214.59 gms. Obverse: Crowned, veiled, and draped bust left; Reverse: Victoria seated facing on throne, holding orb and reversed sword; two overhanging cherubim above; below and around, seven allegories representing Arts, Industry, and Commerce; in exergue, the 'five' continents of the civilized world: Asia, America, Europe, Australasia, and Africa. Edge: Plain. One of the more iconic types no matter the module, this silver 'golden jubilee' medal features highly mirrored fields and an alluring steely gray tone throughout. A darker olive nature near the peripheries augments its character, though some lightly scattered hairlines--rather typical for the type--are noted in the fields. Includes original red leather case of issue, with the clasp on the edge no longer present.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
