George III bronze "Death of William Beckford" Medal 1770 MS64 Brown NGC, BHM-141, Eimer-732. 43mm. By John Kirk. An unconventional yet elegant portrait of a periwigged Beckford, twice the Lord Mayor of London, adorns the obverse of this chocolate toned, inviting example. While championing the liberty of Englishmen at home, Beckford’s wealth derived largely from his family’s plantations in Jamaica. Near-Gem without any discernible flaws, the single-graded example at NGC. From the Abbeygate Collection of British Medals HID10510052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
