1814 Duke of Cambridge and the Hanoverian Horses

elverno

This piece was engraved as part of the Mudie series around 1820 and commemorates the re-entry of the English into Hanover in 1814. The white metal pieces were struck later, perhaps as late as the 1840s and weren't part of the original subscription choices of gold, silver and copper. No one seems to have purchased the set in gold, if they did it has long since been remelted. I've always felt that flashy white metal was the most difficult to capture, which is why I'm so jealous of the skills evinced on this forum!

Funny, that doesn't look muddy at all.

Love that reverse design.

That's a wonderful piece, Vern!! White metal medals are often mistaken for "proof" or "proof-like" on eBay; unfortunately, they are soft and pick up marks easily, so problem-free older examples are a real find.
