British Silver and Bronze Medals

[palves]

Hi,

I have bought these medals for a symbolic value. I find them quite amazing in detail and colour, but I have no idea of what they are, quantities, market value, designer, producer...

Any help?

Hi Palves,

They are mostly coronation commemoratives.

The Victoria one is for the 1897 diamond jubilee and the GV one with windsor castle was for the silver jubilee in 1935.

Assuming the silver ones are all 32mm diameter they are worth about £15 to £25 depending on condition (retail price).

The 1897 is by T. Brock

1911 by B Mackennal

1935 and 1937 by P Metcalfe.

Most can be found on ebay if you want more info on prices etc.

Quite a nicely presented little collection. A handsome group and well worth owning if you like that sort of thing. It's unlikely they'll ever rival coins for value, but they are beautiful objects. I have the two-headed Vicky medal, and it's quite large and handsome.

Thanks for the help.

Still not sure if will keep them all, but I am quite tempted...
