1837: William Wyon City Medal in bronze - The model for ALL Great Britain Queen Victoria Stamps until 1900, This relief of teenage Queen Victoria served as a model for the Penny Black and all subsequent Great Britain stamps with the queen's image until about 1900. The medal struck to commemorate Queen Victoria’s visit to the Guildhall on 9th November 1837 for the Lord Mayors banquet, hosted by the Corporation of London. William Wyon was Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint and in 1834 he modeled the head of Princess Victoria who was 15 at the time - this engraving was subsequently used for the 1837 Medal. Some insignificant wear on highest points. Only 350 bronze medals were struck., ex Dillaway. Suggested Bid $750-1,000 (Image)
