I bought this today and don't really know much about it other than it was issued to celebrate the marriage of Charles I and Henrietta Maria in 1625. It is silver and 23mm in diameter. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

    What's frightening is that I was going to post the exact same answer as Don, before he posted his comment. However, I took a deep breath and walked away instead of succumbing to childish urges. image

    It is a very neat medal, but I don't collect medals. Better that is goes to someone who can more fully appreciate and enjoy it.

    I don't see any engraver's marks (trying for a shot to use my copy of Forrer image ), are there any on the arm of either bust?

    Send it to me and I'll be able to tell you more about it.

    I know you can't see this, but it has a most wonderful golden tone to it.
