WILLIAM IV, AR66, 1827

$749.00

BHM1296  Extremely Rare.   Celebrates the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV) as Lord High Admiral. A huge, heavy silver medal with a matte finish. In superb condition except that at some time this piece was dropped on a hard surface leaving a noticeable edge ding at 6 oclock. I’ve seen this medal in bronze and in gilt silver but this is the only example in silver with a darkened finish that I have ever seen. A five thousand dollar piece except for that rim knock.   Ex Baldwins sale Jan 2017 lot 1302. NGC  UNC
