By T.Wyon Jr \u0026amp; T. Halliday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObverse with bust of William Pitt, reverse with 5 line legend within open wreath. BHM notes that this reverse was the subject of a letter of complaint by the numismatist Richard Sainthill. He complained that the reverse legend was ungrammatical and that the date of Pitt's birth was incorrect (it should be 28th May). Thomason, according to his memoirs, altered the reverse die and sent an example of the new medal to Sainthill who now approved of it. BHM goes on to say that 'it has proved impossible to find details of this redesigned medal'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has had the date numeral '2' engraved ahead of the '8', to correct the date of Pitt's birth. Extremely Fine, rated RRR by BHM and undoubtably extremely rare. In fact, we can't find reference to another example.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coopers Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56768054002048,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2437\/4545\/files\/STA_0401_copy.jpg?v=1761744531","url":"https:\/\/www.cooperscoins.com\/products\/1814-memorial-to-william-pitt-54mm-medal-by-wyon","provider":"Coopers Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
