High quality gold plated REPLICA medal depicting the coronation of Queen Victoria. The surface of this coin is of a highly polished gold finish. As stated, this is a replica (copy) of the original coin. The coin is designed as a collectable item and has no financial exchange rate value. It is suitable for gifts and collectors since it's very close to the original one. The coin is gold plated. Not solid gold. As seen on the photos the quality is very good and it is like the original one. Just 1,369 specimens of this medal were struck, and it remains amongst the most popular of the British gold coronation series. Its engraver, Benedetto Pistrucci, combines elements from some of the most celebrated British coins: the reverse depicting young Victoria seated on her throne beside a lion, being presented the crown by Britannia, Hibernia and Scotia, the 'three graces' with arms around one another. On the obverse, we see the sculptured likeness of the 19-year old Victoria rendered proudly from the reflective fields behind. This example is remarkably unscathed for type, every element of the designs boldly struck and well-preserved, the color a warm flame-yellow with abundant reflectivity.
