Questions about 1838 British Victoria coronation medal

I have a white metal version of this piece that recently sold at Baldwins. https://bsjauctions.auctionmobility.com/lots/view/1-17H5ED/british-medals

My questions are:
1. Baldwins has this as BHM-1833, do the white metal versions carry the same catalog #?
2. I assume the wm versions are much more common but I am unable to locate another with my search engines. How common or scarce are these?
3. What would be the approx value of a wm piece in gVF/EF condition?

Thanks in advance!!

    I think Spinks catalogues is the place for all things British coronation medals. Peace Roy

    I will try to look it up in Eimer this evening if this has not been answered.

    Not in Eimer British Commem Medals; I saw many coronation white metal pieces going for about 20% the silver in there. I would hazard an inexpert guess of 50-100 pounds - appearance would play a big role in price. Ugly will not bring much, but the opposite in condition and price would also be true.
