<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 3927258, member: 87179&quot;]Just a little update. Found this on eBay last night unattributed to Pistrucci. Here are the seller&#039;s pictures and description.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1035222[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>BRONZE 1838 Coronation MEDAL</p><p><br /></p><p>The Queen Victoria Coronation Medallion was a commemorative medal commissioned to celebrate the coronation of Queen Victoria which took place 28 June 1838.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold medallions were awarded to members of the Royal Family and personal guests. Silver and bronze medallions went to members of the Royal Household, government ministers, senior officials, certain foreign visitors and naval and army officers and other ranks involved in the celebrations.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>37mm</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>The obverse of this medal bears the head of Queen Victoria and the inscription; ‘VICTORIA D.G. BRITANNIARUM REGINA F.D.’.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>The reverse depicts three ladies symbolic of England, Scotland and Ireland presenting a crown to the seated Victoria while a lion lies behind looking on.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Above is the inscription; ‘ERIMUS TIBI NOBILE REGNUM’, (meaning we shall be a noble Kingdom to you) and below the inscription; ‘INAUGURATA DIE JUNII XXVIII MDCCCXXXVIII’ (the date of the coronation).</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>E-1315</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Last week I lost out on an, admittedly superior, example that sold for 3 times the price of this one. I didn&#039;t &quot;need&quot; a gem example so I am quite happy with this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
