BHM-3209, Eimer-1725. 52.6mm. 8.30g. Plain edge. Unsigned. A uniface plaster cast of the reverse die for the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition medal. The number “10” is inscribed in pencil on the reverse. This may have been produced as part of the approval process for the final design or as a recreation of the final medal for further study, photography, or display. Plaster casts are inherently rare given their fragility. They were never meant to survive for long periods of time, making this perfectly preserved example all the more remarkable.
