Rob Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Can anyone tie this bust to a known piece? Presumably a medal. A similar style of bust with differences to the drapery was used on a medal of Charles II and Catherine ref. M.I.540/192 of which an example was sold in the Archbishop Sharp sale (Glens 5/10/1977 lot 305) where it was attributed to Philip Roettier ca.1667.Thanks. Quote

Hussulo Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Sorry Rob, unknown to me. It is an interesting piece though. Is it a planchet or is it a die?Kind of hard to tell from the pic. Quote
TomGoodheart Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Looks a wee bit like Falconer's work, doesn't it? Quote
Rob Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 Sorry Rob, unknown to me. It is an interesting piece though. Is it a planchet or is it a die?Kind of hard to tell from the pic.It's in the Royal Mint archived collection of old dies and punches. I'm just trying to find out where it was used. I don't have any medal reference books, so was hoping someone could help. Quote
