WILLIAM III, Prince of Orange, marriage to Princess Mary, 1677, in silver (41mm) believed to be the work of Nicholas Chevalier (M.I. Plate LVIII, 6-7) (Eimer 256) type without any visible brooch to secure the mantle worn by the Princess. Good very fine.
Together with a hand-written note dated 1/11/49 from J.H.Deacon, Curator of National Gallery, Adelaide, valuing the medal at 7/6d to 10/-. As paper was scarce at the time it was written on the back of a portion of one of his old wartime letters in which the writer refers to severe rationing in England and the fact that he had called on Baldwin, the London coin and medal dealer, whose premises had been bombed.
