- Lot Description
trial or essai specimens, each one uniface and executed in base metal, One Florin/One Tenth of a Pound, with coat of arms as central device, 50 mm; Half Crown/One Eight of a Pound, with seated Justice at center, 80 mm; One Half Pound/Ten Shillings, with full-rigged ship at center, 92 mm; and Thomas Henry Huxley medal, by Frank Bowcher, after the marble sculpture of Huxley by Edward Onslow-Ford, diameter 128 mm
Provenance: Private Collection
Note: The Royal Mint Museum, just outside of Cardiff, has in its collection a pattern produced by Edward Onslow-Ford depicting Queen Victoria in 80 mm format. Ford apparently submitted some quantity of trials just after the 1887 Jubilee celebration in vain attempt to have at least one of his designs considered. Ultimately, none of his proposed patterns were selected for circulating coinage of the Realm.
