Medals
Reference:5545 King George VI: Memorial Fund Race, Wembley, 1952
Large crowned bust of King George VI to left.
Nine-line engraved inscription.
By Thomas Fattorini.
Silver. 78mm.
Condition: Extremely Fine
Notes:
Two circular silver plates united at their edge by a perfectly-formed collar; this is the only nod to a superbly-crafted and unrecorded medal, very large in size, produced during the height of post-war austerity.
