General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A diverse group of international coinage, tokens, and commemorative medallions presented in a clear plastic container. The collection features a prominent gold-toned commemorative medallion for the HM Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee, housed in a protective plastic capsule. Identifiable pieces include a large US silver-coloured coin with an eagle and wreath reverse design, a medallion depicting the standing stones of Stonehenge, and an AU 1943 bronze half-penny. British numismatic items include George V pennies, notably a 1908 issue. A small plastic bag contains several smaller silver-coloured denominations, one of which displays the numeral 10 within a wreath. A handwritten tag notes the presence of a 1999 Cayman Islands 25 cent coin. The assembly comprises various base metal alloys including copper, bronze, brass-toned metals, and silver-coloured metals such as cupronickel or silver.
Condition report:
Mixed condition across the collection. Older bronze and copper coins exhibit heavy circulation wear, significant toning, and surface contact marks. The encapsulated Diamond Jubilee medallion remains in uncirculated or proof-like condition. Silver-coloured pieces show varying degrees of surface wear and toning commensurate with age and handling.
