Beautiful Mint State Coronation Medal of Queen Victoria

Victoria gold "Coronation" Medal 1838 MS61 NGC, Eimer-1315, BHM-1801. 36.5mm. By Benedetto Pistrucci. VICTORIA D G BRITANNIARUM REGINA F D Diademed bust left // ERIMUS TIBI NOBILE REGNUM Queen enthroned to right, receiving crown from Britannia, Hibernia and Scotia, to left; in exergue INAUGURATA / DIE JUNII XXVIII / MDCCCXXXVIII. From a limited mintage of just 1,369 specimens, a coronation medal possessing significant historical importance that will be immediately recognized by collectors of all specialties. Pistrucci's lovely effigy of the young Queen rises in majestic relief from the reflective lower-lying field admitting fine wisps from handling and bathing in warm golden opulence. Turning to reverse, we note a contact mark near the rim at 3 o'clock and limited carbon spots which do little to detract from the overall attractive impression.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 36.5mm
