Hi Aidan, I'm not sure who produced it, but it is indeed silver. The scanner I used wasn't too brilliant for capturing true colouration but the medal does have a light/ mellow gold tone to it.

bill Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Here's a link to a closed ebay item in England: http://tinyurl.com/as87o Its shown in a case and has a reference number: Eimer 2124 I'm assuming that refers to one of Eimer's catalogs: http://www.christophereimer.co.uk/ Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy (and surprised) to learn that is has a value higher than its silver content. I like the reverse design, but the obverse is pretty badly executed (IMHO).

Guest Aidan Work Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Ian,perhaps the medal was struck by John Pinches of London,who also struck the 1973 Cook Islands silver $2 coin. Aidan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you may well be right Aidan. Thanks for the steer. You also reminded me that I have a couple of silver proofs from the Cook Islands somewhere. Must dig them out. All I remember when I put them away was that they had weird denominations ..like 2 dollars and 7 1/2 dollars but memory is such a fickle thing (especially in my case). Now...if only I could remember where I put 'em..... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Work Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Ian,the 2-1/2 Dollars & the 7-1/2 Dollars were struck at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant.It is the silver $2 coin that was struck by John Pinches of London.The $2 coin in question depicts the Queen on the throne in ceremonial robes of the Order of the Garter,I think.
