Ancient, British and World Coins, Tokens, and Historical Medals

Great Britain, Death of Sir Henry Irving, 1905, bronze medal, published by Restall, 43mm (BHM 3919). Good extremely fine, rare (£20-25)

The cataloguer considers the BHM description of the piece as ‘C’ (common) underestimates its true scarcity. Possibly the same medal as that listed by Svarstad (115) but dated 1906.
