Set of eight (8) medallions, each in two sizes, struck in 22 carat gold, sterling silver, silver gilt, and copper, all in fitted case, issued as a memorial to the great man.
The Gold Medallions A whole rash of commemorative medallions were issued after the death of the great man in 1965, and a further few on the centenary of his birth in 1974. These medallions vary greatly in size and quality. Some are very impressive, being struck in a large size, and with high relief giving great detail. These medallions by John Taylor are in the better class, being in high relief and well finished and presented.
Original Box The complete set of eight comes complete with original box.
