- (1863) William Pitt Medal. Betts-515. Gilt Bronze, 41.5 mm. AU-58 (PCGS). 444.3 grains. Kraljevich 3-C. A simply beautiful piece, richly gilt in bright yellow gold. Lustrous and lovely with gilding only worn thin on Pitt's cheek. A horizontal test scratch at the base of the reverse confirms that this is not, in fact, actual gold. Trivial hairlines do nothing to affect superb visual appeal. This is a very rare format for this issue. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Ted Craige, October 1970; our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Lucian LaRiviere Collection, March 2001, lot 2109; John Agre (Coin Rarities Online), May 2015.
