GREAT BRITAIN. Elizabeth II Coronation Gold Medal, 1953. Milan (Stefano Johnson) Mint. NGC MS-67.
BHM-Unlisted; Eimer-Unlisted. By E. Monti for Stefano Johnson in Milan. Diameter: 61mm; Weight: 136 gms. Obverse: ELISABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITANNARVM REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR, crowned head right; Reverse: CORONAM SVSCIPIT / JVNII MCMLIII, crowned and garnished coat-of-arms over sword and scepter crossed in saltire and with lion and unicorn as supporters. A rather interesting and SCARCE unofficial coronation issue, especially in this gold format, the present example offers immensely majestic fields that radiate light and offer a slight frosting. The portrait of the young queen seemingly comes alive with great relief and detail, making this a tremendous opportunity for any advanced collection of coronation medals.
