Very nice, except for the tiny shovel, which seems oddly out of place. Like an afterthought, engraved by another , perhaps by last minute request
No doubt a tribute to the Spade Guinea!

Before I knew anything about the Libertas medals I was taking a copper class taught by Doug Bird and Steve Carr at the ANA Summer Seminar. Doug was sharing his bronze Libertas which was from the Garrett Collection. It's a numismatic wonder to hold.
