BHM 4253.
32mm. Silver. By W.J Dingley.
Obverse with conjoined busts, reverse with inscription on ornate tablet within wreath, shield of Jersey below. Edge hallmarked and engraved 'I.H Maine From Grandparents 1935'.
Once lightly cleaned and therefore bright otherwise Extremely Fine and very rare. Unlisted in silver by BHM.
A footnote in BHM for a similar medal, struck to commemorate the 1937 Coronation, notes that those medals were sold by Messrs C.T Maine of 35 King Street, St Helier, Jersey. This medal is from the same source as that medal, which is also engraved on edge with the initials I.H.M (I.H Maine). That suggests that this medal was also retailed by C.T Maine and the fact that BHM only lists these two medals in white metal suggests a tiny mintage for silver examples and it is possible that no more than a few silver examples were commissioned to be given as family gifts.
