In original box and case of issue, with certificate numbered 285/900. Three (3) medals in lot. Extremely rare error.

From the Peter J. Merani Collection, purchased December 2013.

The 2013 annual medal, designed by Mariangela Ciesciotti, included an unfortunate misspelling in the reverse legend: IESVS was written as LESVS. The error was quickly noticed and the sale of the medals suspended. Only a limited number made it into the hands of collectors, making this medal, and particularly the three-medal set, an important modern rarity.

The final winners of all Triton XXIV lots will be determined during the live online sale that will be held on 19-20 January 2021. This lot is in Session One, which begins 19 January 2021 at 9 AM ET.
