After witnessing the intricate detailing of both Edward and Alexandria with the use of imitative texture, it is easy to see why this is one of the most sought-after coronation issues of Edward VII. The beautiful golden tone upon the surfaces is reminiscent of an early sunrise glow; a lovely combination of champagne and lemon hues that effortlessly accent the portraiture and legends.

Overall, a superb Medal that is sure to intrigue and impress collectors of regal numismatic artistry. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
