An original cast of a rare medal, but in well-worn condition, knocks to high spots and pierced at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock. The portrait seems to be based on a painted portrait (now lost), whilst the reverse is believed to be the design for a memorial chapel by the Florentine architect and sculptor, Antonio di Pietro Averlino (c.1400-c.1469). His most famous project was the bronze doors for the old St Peter’s Basilica, completed in 1445. More relevant to the medal is his design for Sforzinda, the (unbuilt) plan for the first ideal city of the Renaissance.

COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, WORLD MEDALS, MEXICO Our Lady of Guadaloupe, a highly important 17th Century Pilgrim’s Badge in gold and enamels, open-work design set with six squares of native emeralds, the crowned central image of a radiant Madonna supported on a cherub’s head, continuous legend in border around (partly hidden by stones), MCONCEBADSNPECADOORGNAL, the enamel in four colours: red, blue, green and white, 66mm x 51.5mm, total weight 35.54g. Some slight damage to enamel, otherwise in excellent condition, scarce. Our Lady of Guadaloupe (Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe) is the image of the Madonna which appeared on the cloak of a peasant who is now vernerated as Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin or Juan Diego (1474-1548), at Tepeyac, near Mexico City. Accounts of the apparition were first published in Spanish in 1648, by Father Miguel Sànchez, Imagen de la Virgen María, Madre de Dios de Guadalupe (“Image of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God of Guadalupe”). It is quite possible that the jewelled badge dates from around the time of this publication.

†BRITISH COINS, HAMMERED GOLD SOVEREIGNS, Edward VI (1547-1553), Gold Sovereign of Twenty Shillings, Second Period (24 January 1549 to 18 December 1550), Southwark mint, crowned full figure of boy King seated facing on tall throne with cherub ornaments, holding orb and sword, linear inner and outer beaded circles surrounding, initial mark Y at start of legend both sides, legend reads Y EDVVARD’. VI: D’ G’.

AVTEM. TRANSIENS: PER MEDI’. ILLOR’: IBAT., 10.12g (Schneider 685; North 1906; S 2433). Some evidence of tooling on the reverse by banner and smoothing on the obverse fields, giving some loss in overall weight, weakly struck at face, otherwise details clear, about very fine. ex Clarendon collection, Part I, Bonhams, 28 March 2006, lot 916 This was the first of three types of gold Sovereign depicting the boy King Edward VI dating to 1550. This second period coinage was only issued once the King was satisfied that the coinage could be sustained at a higher fineness of gold than his Father’s debased issues. Therefore this Sovereign was issued at 22 carat fineness (0.917 fine), which we still use for British gold coinage today, and a 20-Shilling face value, though it weighed only just over 169 grains (10.977g), as the country continued to recover from the extravagance of Henry VIII. This example emanates from the Southwark mint where Sir John Yorke was the Under-Treasurer, hence the use of his surname initial Y for the mintmark.
