- A Spectacular Relic of the William & Mary Co-Regent Period GREAT BRITAIN. William & Mary Coronation Gold Medal, 1689. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield. MI-662/25; Eimer-312a. By J. Roettiers. Mintage: 715. Obverse: GVLIELMVS ET MARIA REX ET REGINA, jugate draped busts of William, laureate, and Mary right; Reverse: NE TOTVS ABSVMATVR, Jupiter seated right among the clouds with an eagle, hurling thunderbolts downward toward Phaethon, escaping from chariot advancing right; in two lines in exergue, INAVGVRAT II AP / 1689. A VERY RAREand attractive specimen, this incredible piece is exceeded by just two examples across both services. The alluring, bold strike is paired with a planchet blessed with a golden-orange hue with hints of cobalt and burgundy as one approaches the peripheries. It's sage to say that, of the already paltry mintage in gold, a precious few have survived the melting pot, with far less retaining this much charm and beauty. A crown jewel for the finest cabinets of British coronation medals. Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000. Provenance: From the Duke of Lansing Collection.
