Here are the pics. My lamp slowly went yellow as it warmed up. Sorry about that. The 2001 one has a badly aligned tails as you can see but otherwise isn't too bad. The 2002 one has a rim bead missing above the G of DG, a letter missing from IRB just below Her Maj's truncation, and an almost detail-free 3-lion reverse which actually lines up quite well.

You tried to post invalid "emoji" characters. The forum no like them. I remove the strings.

Back when we called him Chuck...

My large Investiture medal marking the day in 1969 that young Chuck became Charles, Prince of Wales. A Royal Mint product, now tastefully toned and thumbprinted.
