Rob Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Hi. Anyone have a copy of BHM for the reference number? 38mm dia, weight including clip 22.28g. Struck in Tin. Thanks. Quote
bagerap Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 My BHM isn't to hand, but from memory I'd say that this isn't included. Quote
bagerap Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 BTW, if there is no signature on the truncation, then this is a knock off copy of the Spink issue. Quote
copper123 Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Like the reverse obverse not very flattering though , but probably a reasonable likeness Quote
JLS Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Weirdly enough this reverse design was reused for an Edward VIII coronation medal... Quote
bagerap Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 There was a 1901 Death of Victoria, Acession of Edward medal that used that reverse, but I'd be very interested in seeing a coronation medal with that format. Quote
Paddy Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 On the same theme, can anyone tell me more about this medallion? Measures about 29mm diameter and appears to be silver. I can find a similar obverse on several online examples, but these have a reverse with "Valparaiso" in the wording. Quote

Here you go ! This medal exists in brassed bronze (as shown) as well as in bronze, gilt bronze, white metal and silver. I have all except the silver striking which is very rare. Not sure if this actually dates to ~1936 or whether it is a later fantasy, but it rarely turns up in pristine condition which to me suggests an earlier manufacture if not contemporary. 1 Quote

OHG he looks about 35 surely very flattering Quote
