BRITISH COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, Great Britain, Henry VIII, Bronze Portrait Medal, c.1524, uniface cast, possibly Continental workmanship, bearded bust left, wearing large hat and ornate cloak, HENRICVS VIII GD REX ANGL FRANC DOMI, 59mm (cf MI 30/14). Very fine with dark patination, extremely rare. The medal is an old re-working or restitution of a unique lead medal, formerly in the Bute Collection (lot 13) and illustrated in the MI Plates from an electrotype copy. The DG in the legend has been reversed and DOM H has become DOMI. A smaller version is also known, this having a Tudor Rose on the reverse (MI 30/15). The similarity in the workmanship of this medal when compared with others of the Count d’Egmont and Charles V would seem to suggest a medallist from the Netherlands rather than Hans Daucher, to whom Henry Grunthal attributed the later (Portcullis reverse) portrait medal of 1526 (ANS, Museum Notes, 1958). Another example was offered by Bonhams, 19 October, 1993 (lot 151 - 520)
