Description

All Tivoli Theatres VC Recipent's Life Pass, in gold (15 carat, 14.5g) (33mm Victoria Cross shape) by Angus & Coote Limited, inscribed on the reverse, 'For Valor/An Appreciation/Pres by/The Hon. Hugh D.McIntosh/ M.L.C.', unnamed, possibly reserved for a non-attendant to the dinner where each surviving Australian Victoria Cross recipient was presented with this pass. Good extremely fine and extremely rare.

This pass is normally with the VC recipent's medals and to obtain one usually would necessitate buying the group, if and when one comes up for sale, a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This unissued pass presents the opportunity to acquire an important piece of Victoria Cross memorabilia at a reasonable price.
