I have a G.B. Victoria Crowned Medal dated the date of her coronation June 28, 1838. Has "young head" on obv. on reverse St. George Slaying the Dragon and the inscription is, "By trampling on Liberty I lost the Reins", (what a great phrase!) The size is a little bit larger than a nickel and it is brass, plus unfortunately very worn maybe VG-10. Does anyone on here know if this "medal" is rare? On Medals4Trade website it says it is very rare, RRR but that is all I know about it. Any help would be appreciated as to rarity or value?? Thanks in advance, Ben Peters
It soumds like one that was privatly produced Ben, most of the people here in the UK would have liked a commemrative of the coronation so they were massed produced same happens now for Royal weddings etc Here is one of mine for her Diamond Jubillee
If you can scan a pic I will have a look in one of my books to see if I can find any info on it for you but dont hold your breath as I say so many were made
I am photo challeged but, I'm photo challenged but if you go to Medals4Trade.com Collections Area they have photo and decription on there - mine is exactly like that one. Thanks, Ben Peters
