Hi all .. What do you think of this little stunner !!!!

It is the only one i have ever seen and is something i will never part with..

anyone ever seen one before ?





Thanks to Brucewar for imaging the medal

I've never seen one before. That's a beautiful medal.

Lovely medal

Very fascinating in that it was a small Parish area that issued this medal, and it is hallmarked sterling on the reverse. It is a very nice and attractive piece.

Absolutely stunning medal.

Yes its a small parish and what i find funny is that it's a amazing bit of work and no one has put there name on it ?

I have a small collection of various Royal Commemrative medals & this has to rate as one of the nicest I have come across, thank you ever so much for sharing it with us

Actually they have in the form of the hallmarks on the reverse, those verify the piece is sterling ie .925 fine silver, and the makers marks. The makers marks can be traced, probably to a jeweler or silversmith that made the piece. British hallmarks are some of the best documented of anyplace.

The makers mark, or their initials are on the left side of the reverse of the piece, under the word "Gare", whilst the hallmarks are on the ride side under "Loch" and attest to the silversmith's marks and fineness, and likely a date mark also.

Beautiful medal.

WOW!!! That's simply stunning

I want!

I wish they would do portraits like that when it comes to actual circulating coins, looks so much better (just George V by himself BTW)

thats not really my speed... but it still made me say "wow" out loud...

Thanks to you all for your kind words

Wonderful medal. It was hall marked in Birmingham so perhaps was made by a large medal maker and would be customised to the local area to be sold in. Perhaps througth the WI (Womens Inst.) So if it was going to a small village perhaps only a few were made but the overall number could be huge since the WI is everywhere in the UK and Commonwealth. Just an Idea since I saw the hall mark saying Birmingham.

Simply Stunning! Wonderful piece, do not have one in my collection of coronation medals and medallions which is quite thorough... or so I thought! If that time comes when it wants to find a new home among many friends...
