Anyone know where I can get one of these George V medals?

I thought this medal would make an excellent adjunct to my George V crown collection, but I've only seen one for sale (as part of a huge collection totalling over $60,000).

Does anyone know where I can get one?

    Would a 50 lira finders fee get things going? image

    They can be found on eBay as I've seen them from time to time. I don't know how frequently or what they go for, though.

    Here's an answer from a dealer down under:

    "We last had this medal approximately 5 years ago and then it sold for around $1300. This medal also comes with Queen Victoria and Edward VII portrait and in copper. We do not have any at all. Unfortunately we do not know who would have one for sale."

    I'm not sure what $1,300 AUS is in US dollars, but I'm sure it's not cheap. image

    Approx US$1000

    I might as well save up for a Waitangi crown for my main collection before straying off on expensive tangents.
