This set of forty-three gold medals was issued in 1972 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee, although it may have been issued in other years also. The monarchs range from Edward the Confessor 1042 to 1066, up to and including George VI 1936 to 1952. It does not include Elizabeth II, possibly because of legal permissions which would have been necessary.
Each medallion bears, on its obverse, the portrait of the respective monarch, with his or her name and the dates of their reign. On the reverse of each medal is the monarch's coat of arms or other symbols. There is also an information sheet for each monarch with a potted history.
These medallions come in a wooden box with leather insert.
Sculptors Two renowned sculptors worked on the medals in this collection, Michael Rizzello, and William Gardner.
Edge
The edge is plain, apart from a London hallmark with date letter r (1972), the maker's mark JP.
