While the forum has seen a number of medallions over the years, the amazing collection created by Henk Loots which appears in auction 73 and closes on 4 November 2022, reminds of the sheet range of this area of Boer War collecting.
As Rob Mitchell says in his introduction to the collection, medallions are both 'appealing numismatic specimens' and 'works of art', conceived, designed and executed by the leading artists of the day.
I will feature some of the items from this amazing collection here.
