Probably single piece construction. 61.2mm. 1,105.6 gns. Unsigned dies. Armored bust right of George III; a lion watchfully attentive to a threatening wolf, church building and two houses in the background. Original loop with pyramidal finial as on the preceding (but different from that pictured in Jamieson). A second example of this very rare medal. From the second reverse, the differences minute and of little importance. Quite a sharp reverse impression. Harshly cleaned, beginning to retone naturally around the rims. Both reverse die breaks clear.

Ex Estes Gale Hawkes on November 5, 1975.
