Hammer Price:
£20

Great Britain, Anniversary of Queen Charlotte’s Birthday, 1762, brass medal, medallist unknown, busts of George III and Charlotte vis à vis, reverse arms and legend, 31mm (BHM 75). Good very fine, slight flaw to rim (£20-30)

A medal in the “pinchbeck” tradition. BHM notes rare; the first seen by the cataloguer and BHM perhaps underestimates of the medal’s rarity.
