  • Regular price £535.00


BHM 588.

33mm. Silver. Unsigned.

Obverse with uniformed bust of Lord Nelson, legend around 'ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN TO DO HIS DUTY'. Reverse with a foul anchor within 'SUCCESS TO THE BRITISH NAVY'. Engraved with obverse field 'W. Goring'.

This intriguing silver medal is extremely rare. BHM lists this medal in AE and rates it as RRR, however it makes no mention of a silver example. Our searches have not been able to locate another example of this medal in any auction or collection records. The obverse engraving to a 'W. Goring' is equally intriguing and worthy of further research.

Very Fine.
