HANOVER. William IV. 1830-1837. PB/Tin Splasher for a Medal die or master die (patrix) (36mm, 4.77 g). Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. London mint. By Benedetto Pistrucci (or Jean Baptiste Merlen?). Struck 1830. Coat-of-arms set on pile of arms and armor. Mostly as made. Extremely rare.
Instituted in 1830, this particular variety of the medal, bearing the arms of Hanover at the center, was only issued under William IV. While commonly attributed to Pistrucci, Merlen’s skill with detailed, heraldic types suggests he may have been involved.
