Circa 1683 Charles II Presentation Medal in Silver
MI-595-277, Eimer-267, MS62
Undated (Circa 1683) Great Britain Charles II Presentation
Medal, MI-595-277, Silver, MS62 NGC. Eimer-267. 53mm. The
Medallic Illustrations reference only notes that "It is
probable that it was intended for distribution as a present by the
King." Chris Eimer adds, "The portrait of the king places the medal
towards the latter part of his reign, and the royal arms suggests
that it might have an official function. The occurrence of examples
with a suspension loop or the remnants of one also point to the
possibility of this being an award medal." Gunmetal-gray surfaces
display golden-olive accents on this naturally toned, if lightly
hairlined medal. Small nicks in the fields and around the rims
define the grade. The medals of this type were included in Victor's
Morin's Les Médailles Décernées aux Indiens (1915) and are
part of a century-old North American collecting tradition.Ex: Donald G. Partrick.
