Description
Exceedingly Rare James II Coronation Medal in Gold
James II gold Coronation Medal 1685 UNC Details (Obverse Scratched) NGC, by J. Roettier, Eimer-273, MI I-605/5-6. Obv. Laureate, armored, and draped bust of James II right. Rev. An arm appears from heaven holding a crown; below, a laurel wreath rests on a cushion. The date is below in exergue. Full, bright golden mint luster covers both the obverse, and reverse. Moderate marks, and hairlines, are displayed on the reverse, while the obverse has a few larger hairline scratches. Even with these imperfections, the appearance is quite pleasing. According to Daniel Fearon, in his, "Catalogue of British Commemorative Medals, 1556 to the Present Day," a minuscule 200 pieces of this medal were struck in gold. This is the only example of this medal, in gold, that we have offered. Exceedingly rare.More information about Great Britain Coins. See also: Great Britain World Coin Nationality.
