Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. x, 476 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm. 'Leonard Wyon (1826-1891) was Victorian Britain's foremost designer of coins and medals. The diary that he kept from 1853 to 1867 throws light on many of Wyon's most important works: official commissions, including the famous 'bun' penny of Queen Victoria, coins destined for India, Australia and Canada, campaign medals awarded for service in the various mid nineteenth-century military and naval actions in which Britain was engaged, and the prize medal for the 1862 International Exhibition. Other medals were commissioned by the Queen herself, as well as by a broad range of learned societies, academic institutions, commercial concerns and private individuals. In this way Wyon came into direct personal contact with such notable figures of his time as Prince Albert and Henry Cole, the architect Joseph Paxton and the painter Daniel Maclise.'.
