Comments on "Robert Elderton, Coin Designer"

The Elderton wildlife thread is missing the Mauritius 1988 dodo from the gold bullion coins (Elderton designed both obverses and the reverses of these coins)

The Royal Mint told me that Christopher Ironside modelled the obverse (human portrait) but did not know who designed it.

The Royal Mint told me that Christopher Ironside modelled the obverse (human portrait) but did not know who designed it.

Stange, the Royal Mint was very explicit in the CoA for the coin series (caps as in the original text):

"Both the obverse and reverse are by the ROYAL MINT ARTIST ROBERT ELDERTON co worked in close co-operation with The Bank of Mauritius."

An update on the Berry and Co medal. Robert Elderton sent me an email confirming that he had done this medal in the early 1980s. He made 3, of which 2 are currently in his possession, and 1 in mine. He also advised that he has done approximately 50 medals, almost all with extremely small mintages. The exceptions would be the Grace Darling (mintage 47, created in 1983) and the John Betjeman, The Saint of St. Pancras (mintage 36, created in 2009) medals done on behalf of the British Art Medal Society.

A reminder of the Berry and Co. medal.

Perhaps you would like to post a gallery of Robert Elderton's medals?


Also, in what way are the Grace Darling and John Betjeman medals exceptions?
