Note
CSG nb this commentary from a comparandum sold at Spink:
"One of the rarest of all the medals of George IV. Brown (BHM) records it on the basis of the only specimen known to him, that in the Ashmolean Museum and formerly in the collection of Col. M.H. Grant, perhaps the foremost collector of nineteenth century medals in the pre-World War II period. The reverse design is very Dassier-esque and the Latin inscription on the reverse ('To the best and most mighty of Kings') suggests that the medal may be associated with a Royal visit or some other state occasion. The prominence of the Hanoverian horse might indicate a German connection."
