PS- 40 mm would be more in the range of a sovereign, I think, but I don't know of any with that design- the sovereigns seem to have the king...
It doesn't look "off" to me. It looks ike a wonderful piece of rare Tudor gold in a possibly Victorian(?) era jewelry mount! :greedy: But you'll...

Agreed. Even at the £52 issue price (never mind the markups in the secondary market!) this seems crackpipe-crazy. 'Tis a silly/whimsical theme...

I say "surprise package" because in the time it took to cross the Atlantic, I had forgotten @Andres2 had told me he was sending me this. What a...
Wow, what a great portrait.
Handsome King James, that is.
I got "Clio-ed" for the first time in a recent CNG auction, but not on the coin that was at the top of my target list. Not even Clio can buy 'em all.
