Description

Victoria bronze "Alexandra Enters London" Medal 1863 MS64 Brown NGC, BHM-2783, Eimer-1561. 77mm. By J.S. & A.B. Wyon. Obv. Bust left. Rev. Londonia with attendants welcoming Princess Alexandra of Denmark, accompanied by the Prince of Wales. An unembellished yet refined portrait on the obverse turns to a menagerie of activity on the reverse, with the extraordinary engraving work of the Wyon team on fine display. The laudably bold design is impressive in every regard. A tiny rim ding likely prevents a Gem grade. From the City of London series. From the Abbeygate Collection of British Medals HID09801242017 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
