Offered is a diminutive 16mm model Half Farthing by Lauer, produced in 1902 on the occasion of the coronation of Edward VII, W&E#4381. These pieces, sometimes referred to as medalettes, and sometimes as sample pieces, were likely a bit of both, as the die sinking and striking on pieces of this type are generally finer than the average from Lauer. This example pleasing and original with chocolate patina.
