GREAT BRITAIN. Edward VIII Proposed Coronation Gold Medal, 1937. NGC PROOF-64 Ultra Cameo.
Giordano-CM260c; BHM-4302. By W. McMillan for Spink. Diameter: 32mm; Weight: 19.03 gms. Obverse: Crowned and mantled bust left; Reverse: Coat-of-arms surmounted by crowned and plumed helmet, and with lion and unicorn as supporters. Immensely frosty and majestic, this radiant near-Gem offers a matte-blasted nature to the devices and highly mirrored fields, leaving a great cameo aspect. Quite RARE and ever-popular. The coronation of Edward VIII was scheduled for 12 May 1937, but was never held due to the King's abdication on 11 December of that year.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
