1066 - 1966 Battle of Hastings Gold Medals by John Pinches
This impressive set of three gold medals was issued to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
It comprises three different sizes, each of which bears the same design.
These medallions come in a fitted leather box.
The set in our possession, the first we have seen and owned of this particular issue, is accompanied by a John Pinches certificate, stating the weights, diameters, fineness, and that this was set number 2 of 500!

Obverse
The shield and coat of arms of Hastings above a longship with grotesque monsters at prow and stern, and waves below.
The legend and inscriptions read:
900th ANNIVERSARY (above the shield).
19 66 (at either side of the shield).
BATTLE OF HASTINGS (on the side of the boat.
The issuers signature appears at the bottom:
PINCHES LONDON

Reverse
A scene from the battle, presumably taken from the Bayeux Tapestry, showing two mounted horsemen (French?), one of whom holds his sword towards a standing soldier, presumably English, wielding a battleaxe. One foot soldier is throwing a spear, another has fallen injured. A number of arrows fly through the air.
The only inscription, in the exergue, on this side reads:
MLXVI (1066)

Edge
The edge is plain, apart from a serial number, 2 on our featured specimen, and a London hallmark with date letter k, the maker's mark JP.
