GREAT BRITAIN. London. Westminster Abbey Bronze Medal, 1855. Geerts (Ixelles) Mint. NGC MS-63 Brown.
Ross-M189; van Hoydonck-142; Reinecke-35; Taylor-8B; BHM-2592; Eimer-1506. By J. Wiener and Elkington & Co. Diameter: 59mm. Obverse: Exterior view of the abbey building from the west-northwest; Reverse: Interior view of the Henry VII chapel from just to the right of the center aisle centerline looking toward the altar. Undoubtedly one of the most attractive and intricate-if not the most intricate-medals in this ambitious series, the reverse of this medal demands constant gazing, as seemingly each time it is viewed, something new is discovered. Deep brown in color and highly attractive.
Estimate: $300 - $500
