New Medals Medallions aquisitions

[purplepennyhunter]

I found this medal in the Mints 1991 Christmas catalogue. "An era of coins" was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Mint. It sold for $16.50 and was designed by  Vladimir Gottwald.

This one arrived today accompanied with a whole lot of stamps on the envelope that weren't even franked :good:
A lovely little medallion that is the same design as the Bronze one I am waiting to arrive and about the same size as a 20c coin.
I am pretty sure that this is a copper/nickel one and my first one as such
Thank you So much PP , I Love it :yahoo:

Engraved by Vanbola Veinberg in the 1970's.  The same man who engraved the silver scissors that were used to cut the ribbon at the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932.

Thanks for that bit of background information Mark :good:

These arrived on Friday and I have just gotten around to imaging them.
The Silver 1977 royal visit medallion was housed in a nasty PVC slip inside the clamshell case unfortunately.
Not too much damage done and I have removed it from the PVC But it would have been far better if it wasn't in that blasted slip.
The large Bronze medallion is in perfect nick and the "antique" finish on this is rather nice

Very nice especially the birdie so better not let Nevol see it

Too late! It is a very impressive birdie, but I'm not really into Medals, so I can live without it.

I can live without it.

And I bet you could also happily live with it.
