New purchase. This was my dream coin for the longest time! After 5 years of searching, I've finally found it! 54mm Bronze 1939 Royal Visit Medal in original Royal Blue case.      This extremely rare medal was exclusively given to government officials. Most are kept in family collections, but occasionally, one surfaces at estate sales, like this one. Typically, one of these medals appears at auction every two years, offering a very narrow window to obtain such a rarity. The medals were produced in three compositions: • Gold • Silver • Bronze/Tombac Only 8 gold medals, 125 silver, and 649 Bronze were minted. It's likely that not all were distributed, so the existing numbers are probably much lower. Enjoy some pictures and note the size comparison between the regular 26mm and 33mm medals and this 54mm medal. |

Great medal - looks like it has toned nicely in the case. Thanks for sharing!
Could you show us the outside of the case?

That is gorgeous--looks like a hockey puck-sized hunk of tombac!
