Great Britain
Victoria gold "Diamond Jubilee" Medal 1897 MS60 NGC, Eimer-1817a, BHM-3506. 55mm. 96.87gm. By G.W. de Saulles, after T. Brock and W. Wyon. Of Victoria's extensive Medal series accumulated over her prolific reign, the 'Diamond Jubilee' design ranks among the finest and most coveted, owing to the success of the composition. While we've handled many of her smaller silver and gold Medals, rarely do we get the opportunity to see these in large-format, and arguably the most appropriate for fully appreciating the engraved designs. The matte-like expanses host both her jubilee and young portraits, limited from higher designations by the occasional wisp and contact mark scattered throughout.
