    1837: Wyon City Medal, with head of Queen Victoria as used for the 1840 1 d. black & 2 d. blue and issues thereafter, a fine example in silver produced by William Wyon (1795-1851) struck to celebrate Victoria's first visit to the City of London in November 1837 after her accession to the throne. The head was actually modelled by Wyon when Victoria was 15 years old in 1834. Small imperfections but an iconic and rare medal and a wonderful frontispiece to a collection.rnrnrn
