Description
Leopold I gold "Pedro V & Stephania" Medal 1858-Dated UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC. 75mm. 272.46gm. By L. Wiener. D PEDRO V REI DE PORTUGAL E DOS ALGARVES D STEPHANIA RAINHA DE PORTUGAL E DOS ALGARVES Jugate busts left // Allegory escorting the bride to the king; in exergue 29 ABRIL 1858. Stephanie married King Pedro V of Portugal by proxy on 29 April 1858 at St. Hedwig's Cathedral in Berlin, where her eldest brother Leopold stood in for the groom. She was then married in person on 18 May 1858 at the Church of St. Dominic in Lisbon. Wedded at age 21, Stephanie tragically succumbed to diphtheria only a year later. Pedro would also die young, falling to cholera in 1861 at the age of 24. This mammoth medal is impossibly scarce, with only a scant few records of the type appearing in bronze and silver at auction. This elegant gold rendition by the famed engraver Leopold Wiener is possibly unique.Metal: Gold
Diameter: 75mm
