thedeadpoint Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Very cool! I thought it was a coin or medal commemorating her death "dies" but this is cooler. Welcome to CP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falke 3D Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks for the welcome wishes. I also wonder what Google often translated. Is it really that the "die" is a coining dies? Here I have a wax impression, like the Medal should look like. Until I have a really good impression. Here came in the air moist wax. The others are not so clear, and cracked. There are certainly people who collect such a die more than me, then please contact me. This part is very old, and was found in an attic. One question I have, how do you get the avatar a picture? That does not work with me. Greetings Falke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 That's quite a remarkable piece. I'd swear I've seen that portrait before -- it looks like the Straits Settlements portrait: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falke 3D Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 The similarity is there, but the Crown is not the same. Another attempt with fingers to compare sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 And the wrong kind of lettering -- yours is more ornate. But I think we're in the neighborhood. I'll keep poking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just to make it easier to compare, This is not listed in BHM, there is only one smaller medal that has VICTORIA QUEEN and she is bare headed & the inscription is not gothic , and the military medals all seem to use REGINA not QUEEN.

constanius Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 This appears to be the identical bust, INDIAN MEDALS. Jubbulpore Exhibition, Bronze Medal, 1866, by W Wyon, bust of Queen Victoria to left, rev female figure of Industry laureates a woman standing before her, 43mm. I suspect that your die was never actually used but the bust was. The English Wyon medals used the Latin REGINA, but some of the Indian medals used QUEEN. I suggest that you send images to the British Museum. Good luck, quite an astounding find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Got it!!! http://www.gold-stater.com/modern-coins.html astounding find, congratulations, glad to have been of help The gothic script is rotated slightly so your die was not actually used to strike this medal but was probably part of the overall process, or there is another obscure Indian Victoria medal out there.

ikaros Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wow! Great sleuthing! I assume the denticles and rim would be a separate part fitted to the main die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wow! Great sleuthing! I assume the denticles and rim would be a separate part fitted to the main die? I do not know, but I noticed the reference was from Puddester, = "British India Historical Medals by R.P. Puddester" so that would be the place to look for any other medals using the same bust & script type, where there is perhaps the perfect match. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEDALS-OF-BRITISH-INDIA-VOL-1-BY-ROBERT-P-PUDDESTER-/230464995423 http://www.amazon.co.uk/British-India-Historical-Medals-Puddester/dp/095113082X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falke 3D Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hallo, my stamper was safe to use. He has significant impact in the metal, It consists of 2 parts metal. A ring around the central part. You can see it easily on screen. Clear on the underside. Under loupe you see leihte Oker-yellow track in the middle of a tool. How do I please get an avatar image from my hard drive? It will be uploaded, but not to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
