MORE COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL SELECTIONS FROM BALDWIN'S

Royal College of Surgeons

The Royal College of Surgeons, Gold Medal, awarded 1973 to Bruce Wilfred Goodman CBE, the College’s arms and supporters, rev by Thomas Pingo, Galen, standing in a landscape, contemplates a human skeleton, 47mm, 73.55g, 9ct gold, with scroll (cf Eimer, Pingo 41), as struck; together with his Royal College of Surgeon’s Patron’s Badge, cased, some chips to enamel. There is a strong numismatic link to this medal and scroll. The recipient was a serious coin collector in his own right, selling his collection to Baldwin in the 1960s. The President of the Royal College of Surgeons, Rodney Smith, later Lord Smith of Marlow, a signatory to the present scroll, was a significant collector of Charles I. His collection was bought privately by Spink and the Lord Smith of Marlow provenance is still a recognised and desirable provenance to this day.
