Product Description
The French Line went for commemorative bronze medallions in a big way. More than five were produced for Normandie alone. Cunard? Not so much. They could not resist doing a medal for the Queen Mary, however. And what a medal too. This fine bronze medal was designed by Gilbert Bayes and was made by the Royal Mint in a limited quantity of 3,000. The obverse is a three-quarter bow view of the Queen Mary, and the reverse is a view of New York City through the old Bargate of Southampton. Very cleverly done! The back also incorporates a Cunard lion and a White Star in a fashion I had never seen before. Nicely framed with a red velvet matte. Frame measures about 6.5″ square. AC
