Silver commemorative medals struck by John Pinches (10 ) viz: Battle of London; Handel; Hastings, 900th Anniversary of the battle; Inkerman; Kitchener; Prince Charles Investiture; Simon De Montford; Sir Walter Scott; Spanish Wreck Recovered; and the Waterloo medal after Pistrucci, all cased. About as struck and generally with certificates (£100-120) Footnote These medals were struck by Pinches in the 1960’s as commercial ventures, often re-using or modifying dies already in their possession. The edition limits do not indicate the numbers actually struck, but simply the number the company agreed not to exceed. The medals were executed on an ad hoc basis, according to the last managing director of the company before it was bought by the Franklin Mint. Thus if the edition limit was 500 but only 50 orders were received only fifty medals were struck. Many of the certificates show low numbers and all, with the exception of the medals of Prince Charles and the restrike of the “Spanish Wreck recovered”, are in two figures and one certificate [Handel] is numbered as low as 7.
