RUSSIA. Alexander I/Visit of Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna to England Gold Medal, 1814. London Mint. NGC MS-62. Dia-383.1 (R3). Diameter: 34mm; Weight: 28.30 gms. By T. Wyon. Obverse: Laureate head right; Reverse: Britannia seated left on globe, holding branch and trident; draped Union shield to right. <em>Edge</em>: Plain. A <strong>VERY RARE</strong> medal, this example one of just four or five specimens to cross the auction block over the past few decades, further attesting to its <strong>RARITY </strong>and assured desirability. Some scattered marks and hairlines are noted, but are fairly consistent with the grading designation. A good deal of shimmering, radiant luster is also beaming throughout the fields. Ex: Grand Duke George Mikhailovich Collection.
