I don't think that there is a reliable answer to that, yet. One thing that is clear, the silvered ones are pretty rare. Here is my silvered sentimental from earlier in this topic. I did speculate that if the set had not finished the the Duke of Cumberland would surely been included, well here is an interesting piece from the Gentleman's Magazine Vol. 67, 1797 about the Sentimental Tokens. "The head of Cromwell is the best. How many more were issued in copper I cannot tell; but the copper ones seem to have been dropped and an embossed card substituted; but how long this or the Magazine continued I do not know. The only card I have seen, and which is in possession of the person who gave me this information, was an impression of William, Duke of Cumberland, executed by Milton" the writer goes on too add that possibly one was struck for Cumberland but that he had never seen it. It would be great to find that embossed Duke of Cumberland card by Milton!!! EDIT; Larry Reppeteau, PCNS Fellow, notes in the MCA Advisory Vol 7 # 4 2004; that all the silver sentimentals he has in his collection are in fact silver-clad copper, called "Barton's metal". What we tend to call silvered.

Lovely crisp strike, looks like it was made just yesterday!

What Art said!

I saw a movie in the 1960's about a tontine great jeton.

My pleasure, nice to have another person with similar interests to mine

From Vol. II of Medallic Illustrations, page 483 http://books.google.ca/books?id=MEMGAAAAQAAJ&q=georg#v=snippet&q=georg&f=false ignore the bit about "no value"

One medal that is in my wish list, Maurice de Saxe and his monument.

None of the engravers or issuers of the many small 24mm coronation medals are known, according to BHM, but I would think they all were made in Birmingham England.

Unlisted 1838 Queen Victoria Coronation Medal Silvered Brass 24mm. Obv: HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA + Rev: CROWNED JUNE 28. 1838. Crown above The Sceptre of the Dove & a Sword crossed.

Found a refference for this jeton 109. Ob. A landscape, with buildings indicating various occupations, and men working at a pump or well; in the foreground rises a tall pine-tree, at the foot of which two cornuacopiae shed their contents upon the ground. Legend : in multis fertilis. Rev. A pair of empty scales equally poised by a right hand issuing from a cloud. Legend : pondere virtutis libranda negotia cuncta. Size 8. Flemish Medalet-Jetton commemorating the final cession. of Cambray to France in 1678. The Ob. apparently is symbolic of prosperity; the Rev. of justice. (Dugniolle, No. 4403; Van Orden, No. 1358; cp. Addison, p. 195.) Red metal is a characteristic of the counters of the Low Countries. [PI. II, 19. By the Treaty of Nijmegen signed August 10, 1678 Cambrai is definitely attached to the kingdom of France.

Just before Christmas I noticed an Ebay seller offering some Princess Charlotte tokens, he had listed a group of one 5 integer, two 1 integers & one decem(tenth of an integer). I already had a 5 integer & a decem which I had posted here in exonumia, so wanted one of the two 1 integers but could not justify bidding on the whole group. I noticed the seller had included a link in his description to my post on these Charlotte tokens & described it as an excellent article. So I asked if he would be kind enough to let whoever was the winner know that I was interested in buying one of the two 1 integers from him/her as I wished to post pics of it here on CoinPeople. The seller replied that he had brought a large mixed assorted collection & until he had read my post he had no idea what the Charlotte tokens included in the collection were & so he looked through the collection again & he had another AU I integer available and informed me that it would be his pleasure to send it to me free of charge, he would not even accept postage. The kind dealer was the Sussex Coin Co, here is the One Integer Princess Charlotte School Merit award brass 26mm.

Kinda restores your faith in human nature, what a nice gesture

Quite a provenance there Clive, very nice too

Silver bullet money is very handy if you are troubled by vampires.

Thanks Mark, happy Xmas

I suspect 1850's-1860's, but it is impossible to be sure, unless you can find historical documentation re a certain electrotype. I will be posting the others I acquired, when time permits, & it was easy to find most of the original medals that they were copied from. Merry xmas Clive. EDIT; In 1849 the world's most famous electrotype medal was made for the 1815 Battle of Waterloo after medallist Benedetto Pistrucci (1784-1855) had taken three decades to model it. Pinches had to electrolytically cast it because it was too large to strike with a pair of dies. In 1851 William E. DuBois (1810-1881) begins using electrolysis at the U.S. Mint according to Kenneth Bressett. (Thanks to Julians post below: the date is now 1840 for electrotypes done at the U.S. Mint by Chief Coiner Franklin Peale.) In 1860 DuBois replicated the 1804 dollar by electrolysis.

EDITEUR, this is a gilt 56mm unifaced galvano/electrotype, one of a collection I have acquired, they are all of superb quality & I will post them later. Would you call 7 Bourbon death medals in 1 overkill? They were all tragic deaths. I have been unable to find an example online & have no reference for this compilation medal. EDIT Found the reverse description. REVERSE: LA FRANCE STANDING OVER ALTER WITH "A LA MEMOIRE DE HENRI IV ET DES AUG. MEMBRE - DE LA FAMILLE ROYALE QUI ONT PERI - VICTIMES DE LA REVOLUTION - 1820" . IN EXERGUE BELOW. AROUND THE EDGE: "LE SANG DE VOS ROIS CRIE.ET NEST POINT ÉCOUTÉ.ROMPEX, ROMPEX TOUT PACTE AVEC L'IMPIÉTÉ"

CHECK THIS LINK The dates known are 1927, 1936, 1955 and 1957; all but the last are seldom met with.

Thanks Clive. The Mint struck other official mint medals for sale & presentation at the exhibition but they also struck at least 2 for other companies, EDIT: whether any companies actually struck their own medals there is something I am not aware of Noble struck their medal there. By Percy Metcalfe, this one is for EDIT: this was struck by Noble Industries at the exhibition(BHM): Noble Industries, first struck dated 1924 is BHM#4195 CC. This, dated 1925 is BHM#4204 C. AE 37mm. Struck at the Exhibition, the planchets had been chemically treated prior to striking to give a colourising effect. This example looks far better in the hand as you can tilt it and the full beauty becomes clear(difficult to show in a pic), sadly most of these that you see for sale have lost their original lustre, this one retains it. The Mond Nickel Company Ltd, unlisted in BHM undated, struck from pure nickel for the British Empire Exhibition 1924-1925 45mm by PM (Percy Metcalfe 1895-1970) Rare. Obv: helmeted head of warrior (Britannia) right, holding trident, below, part of a globe featuring a deer(springbok?), beaver, kangaroo and tiger,(for South Africa, Canada, Australia & India) Rev: THE/ MOND / NICKEL / COMPANY / LTD / NICKEL 99.9% plain edge.

Silver BHM#4192 Obv. Britannia seated right striking a coin. BRITANNIA MONETA(British Mint). Rev. View of the mint London. .THE. .ROYAL. .MINT. .LONDON. AR CC; AE CC. 36mm. Designed by John Langford Jones. Both the silver & bronze were struck with a matt finish. Though the medals themselves give no clue as to why or when they were struck, they were struck at the Royal Mint stand at the British Empire Exhibition in 1924 & 1925. 2,402 were struck in 1924 & a further 122 in 1925, these numbers are for both the bronze & silver combined. The bronze sold for 1s/6d and the 1 troy ounce of .925 silver for 3s/6d. The obverse image has since been used for various Mint trial dies, which sometimes leads even dealers to mislist these 1924/25 exhibition medals as trial pieces, especially as the medals themselves give no indication of their origins.HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THAT

You are in luck OFFICIAL CATALOGUE this was quite a unique exhibition in that it was for showcasing foreign products, not American ones. There is a 'So-Called Dollar' for the same event http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/American_Exhibition_of_Foreign_Products.html

I posted this medal a few years ago & thought I should update it with some additional info that I have since discovered. Obv: TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.1783. SEPt 3d SIGNED AT PARIS.FRANCE. 4 Men around a table. H.M. above exergue. Rev: FOREIGN EXHIBITION. BOSTON, MASS. U.S.A. OPENED SEPTEMBER 3d 1883 29mm WM. MA-BO-26 Trade Token, Boston, Massachusettes(page 675 in United States Tokens 1700-1900 by Rulau, 4th edition) The listing in Rulau does not mention the initials, HM, or a die-sinker. I think that the H.M. could be for Henry Mitchell a Boston Die-sinker & gem engraver. He made all the dies for the stamped envelopes of the United States for a great many years. The Maine State Agricultural Society medal was one of the first he cut, having been done sometime before the civil war. Henry Mitchell does use HM(Rulau). Another of his medals was for the Philadelphia 1876 Exhibition. Another the Shield of Harvard 1902. So the date(1883) fits his active period & it being a Boston medal is another pointer towards Mitchell, also I can find no other candidate for the HM in that period.
