James II gold "Coronation" Medal 1685 UNC Details (Reverse Spot Removed) NGC, Eimer-273, MI-I-605/5. 34mm. By J. Roettier. 18.55gm. A celebrated coronation piece from James II reign presented in gold, its most coveted version. A velveteen bust, delicate and exceedingly sharp, constants with the reflective, semi-prooflike brilliance of the fields. The few wisps in the fields do no distract from the subtle flaming patina that envelops this scintillating piece.
Privately purchased from A.H. Baldwin in the early 1920s.
