Remarkable Second Reginald Huth Medal Princess Kaiulani, Medcalf-Russell 2MH-3 "1893" (1895) Reginald Huth Medal. Princess Kaiulani. Medcalf-Russell 2MH-3. Silver. Proof-62 (NGC). Another of the Reginald Huth private medals, this one honoring Queen Liliuokalani's niece, the Princess Kaiulani. Deep slate gray-blue toning is consistent on both sides, and the fields are nicely mirrored. Only light handling marks, a few little ticks in the lower right obverse field. Double struck to bring up exquisite detail. A majestic creation, one of only 50 said to be produced by John Pinches in London, with a single dolphin below the Princess' portrait. A great rarity at an attractive level of preservation. Provenance: From our (American Numismatic Rarities') William H. LaBelle, Sr. Collection sale, July 2005, lot 25.
