A column shattered by lightning; view of London from the south bank of the Thames.

By Jan Smeltzing.

Notes:

 A most attractive medal with this enigmatic portrait of the King, his hair tied in a bag, symbolizing his flight from England. Mirror-like reflective surfaces and much original mint bloom.
