This is rather strange.

 

"Recd. The Royal Assent June. 7

2nd William IV.1832"

 

The Royal assent was granted on June 7 1832, but why is '2nd' inserted between the date & 'William IV' It surely cannot be for seconded! Can it?

 

Your link worked at this moment in time elverno, have you seen this posting of mine LINK of a medal of the Milan Cathedral. I think I need your help, had no replies yet. There is a Napoleonic connection, the cathedral had needed finishing, but money restraints had prevented this. Napoleon with his usual bold stroke made the church sell off its land holdings to pay for the cathedral to be finished.

Can someone tell me about this coin
