Spink & Son Jutland commemorative medallion

[Noor]

Hi all,

Does anyone else have came across with that Spink & Son produced medallion that commemorates fallen in the Battle of Jutland 1916?

It is made from silver alloy, 45 mm diameter and also hallmarked Spink & Son 1916.

After quick check I just spotted one example online on the Imperial War Museum site:

Actually some good details there regards the medallion but my main question would be rarity and the price (because this piece do not fit into my collection and I am planning to list on ebay).

Any advice would be great!

Thanking you in advance,

Timo

Timo, I have only seen a couple of these up on the market, usually accompanied by a WWI pair to a Navy Man. IIRC they do not seem to command very much. These are outside my normal area of interest as I collect Canadian.

Here is a link to one running currently on auction. I hope this helps.

Hi Timo......

I sold a silver one on ebay about 2 years ago and got 24.00 Pounds for it......

I have seen a Silver, Bronze and White Metal version......

Worth more if they had the original box......

Here are a couple on ebay right now.....

A nice commercial token, I have one floating around here, some where - but about as common as whale ###### on the bottom of the ocean....
