Centennial of the Battle of Trafalgar. CU-NI Medal (32mm, 12.00 g, 12h). After Küchler. Dated 21 October 1805, though a later restrike. HORATIO VISCOUNT NELSON . K · B · DUKE OF BRONTE · &, uniformed bust left / ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY, view of the battle; in exergue, TRAFALGAR/ OCTR 21 1805. Edge: blank. Cf. Hardy 110 (for similar); BHM –; Eimer –. Minor marks. EF.

From the J. Eric Engstrom Collection.

Clearly struck from modern dies, this unusual piece is lacking the CENTENARY legend of the Spink restrike of 1905, and appears to be unpublished. It is clearly distinct from the circa 1966 restrikes by John Pinches.
