i have a King Henry Medal that I would like some info on. I have searched the internet over and over and can find nothing. It has the name "rizzello" etched on it on the face side. On the reverse side it has initals "W.G." at the bottom under the sword. and on the edge it has the word "sterling" and has three stamps that I cant describe. I have uploaded pictures
The little "hallmarks" after the word "sterling" on the edge tell you what you need to know. The first one, the "FM" monogram, is the mintmark for Franklin Mint. This website on Franklin Mint medals tells you how to decode the other marks ("71" inside the next mark is the date, 1971) and there are also links from that page to the various medal series which they churned out.
And next time, please click on "reply to topic" in your old thread, instead of starting a brand new thread about the same coin. We prefer to keep all the discussion about a piece in one place.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
