Edward VII Coronation Medal

asheland

I recently got this coronation medal.
Can anybody tell me anything about it?
It's about the size of a Morgan Dollar...




Thanks!

Very nice one! Can you tell who "signed" it under the right shoulder?

asheland

I'll have to check that when I get home. I'll post that soon.
Thanks!

It (appears) to say J.A. Restall.
It's very small and dark.
Here is a close-up of the back:

It's hallmarked

I must say; this maker, Restall, seemed to have produced some very nice material. Here is my Restall medal:

Those are both cool. I don't know anything about it, and the one guy who used to live/eat/channel all things Edward hasn't been around these parts in ages. Anyone see old Cosmicdebris anymore?

Harasha--I have a medal with the similar obverse (?--the horse side). Mine has the Restall where yours appears to say Birm(?ingham), and where your Restall is, mine says 'after W. Wyon'. Once I discovered that (pretty recently actually), I took that to mean Restall was imitating the original Wyon horse/St. George. Doesn't matter to me, I just find it interesting.

J A Restall was a silversmith or something like that. I suspect that the company reproduced many fine works.

I really like that medal!
Very nice!
