This medal (4cm) commemorates the enthronement of King Ernst August of Hanover, the last king of independent Hanover before it was absorbed into Prussia later in the 1860s. It is signed under his bust by the sculptor: 'BREHMER F.' The medal is nearly in fleur de coin condition. It is a particularly fine portrait of this lively old king, whose face has become more familiar to the collecting public since Sotheby's Hanover sale a few years ago. |
