- "1891" (1893) Reginald Huth Medal. Queen Liliuokalani. Medcalf-Russell 2HM-1. Silver. Proof-58 (PCGS). 38.1 mm. Offered is a lightly toned, near-fully defined specimen that retains ample reflectivity in the fields. This is a rare type that does not represent a pattern or circulating issue. Rather, these medals were produced by Messrs. Pinches & Co. of London expressly for Reginald Huth's private collection and distribution to friends and admirers of royalty. Huth was a wealthy Londoner and numismatist. He also had limited quantities of medals produced for Spain and Madagascar. The first of the Huth Hawaiian medals appeared in Honolulu in 1901; they remain extremely rare and are seldom offered for sale in today's market. The present specimen, one of just 50 silver Proofs struck, would serve as a highlight in the finest Hawaiiana cabinet. Provenance: From our November 2020 Auction, lot 8444. PCGS# 726247.
