Description

GREAT BRITAIN. William IV & Adelaide Coronation Gold Medal, 1831. London Mint. NGC Proof Details--Graffiti.
BHM-1475; Eimer-1251. By W. Wyon. Diameter: 34mm. Effective Mintage: 965. Obverse: Bare head of William right; Reverse: Diademed head of Adelaide right. One of the few issues featuring both king and queen, this specimen-- presenting prooflike details --does exhibit some unfortunate graffiti on the edge, likely meant to serve as a collector's number in the past. Despite this minor issue, the cameo nature is rather alluring and the intricate detail of Wyon's work is on full display.
