Bust of Queen Caroline, l., hair decorated with bandeau and pearls, lovelock, in gown fastened with brooch in front. Leg. CAROLINA . D. ; G. MAG. BR . FR . ET. HIB. REGINA. Rev. The Queen in royal robes, facing, attended by Religion with open book, and Britiania with spear and shield. Leg. HIC . AMOR . HAEC. PATRIA. (This, my affection this, my country.) Ex. CORON XI . OCTOB . MDCCXXVII. Metal: Gilded copper or bronze 33 mm. By John Croker. The gilding goes all around the edge but has disappeared from the obverse & reverse. I know that George III gold coronation medal of 1761 was actually only gilt bronze. Does anyone know if the gold medal for Caroline in 1727 was only gilt bronze? Caroline, wife of George II, 1727 coronation medal mintage 138 in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
