1840 Victoria Royal Medal. Copper, Bronzed. Small Size. BHM-1976, Jamieson Fig. 31. MS-66 BN (NGC).

37.7 mm. 424.8 grains. An exceptional specimen with uniform deep chocolate bronze surfaces and intense prooflike reflectivity that sharply contrasts with the satiny devices. Boldly struck, so much so that seemingly every effort of the engraver is seen in the intricate patterns of fine die finishing lines across the devices. Beautifully preserved with just a single superficial spot noted against the unicorn's tail.

From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Earlier from Fred Baldwin, June 1965; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part XVIII, May 2007, lot 8.
