| Lot description: GREAT BRITAIN. Victoria Diamond Jubilee Gold Medal, 1897. London Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-62 Matte. BHM-3506; Eimer-1817B. By G. W. de Saulles. Diameter: 26mm. Obverse: Crowned and veiled bust left; Reverse: Head left, wearing bandeau and set upon filleted olive branch. Issued for a monumental event, the incredible 60th year of reign, this medal features two busts of the queen--a contemporary, late in life portrait on the obverse, and a throwback, youthful portrait on the reverse. Light golden-yellow in color and with an alluring matte nature, this impressive, nearly-Choice commemorative features not just the queen's 'old head' bust from coinage, but also her 'young head' from the beginning of her reign. Estimate: $1000 - $2000 |  |
