Coins and Historical Medals

A set of ten silver architectural medals by Fattorini, c. 1975, from original dies by J. Davis, c. 1850, most showing an exterior view of the building on the obverse and interior on the reverse, each 61mm, approx. 100g; viz. Canterbury Cathedral (BHM 2367), Ely Cathedral (BHM 2368), Gloucester Cathedral (BHM 2369), Lichfield Cathedral (BHM 2370), Lincoln Cathedral (BHM 2371), Oxford Cathedral (BHM 2372), St Paul’s Cathedral (cf. BHM 2498 rev.), Westminster Abbey (BHM 2373), Worcester Cathedral (BHM 2374), York Minster (BHM –) [10]. Mostly extremely fine, reverses better; in a 20th century fitted wooden case £600-£800

Several of the medals show very faint Birmingham maker’s marks and hallmarks on the edge, probably dating the set to 1975.
