The Mint Report (1931) reports 124 specimens struck in gold, silver and bronze and whilst it does not break this down further it must be assumed that the majority were in bronze. As well as a formal reception at Guildhall in London, on 5 July 1927, King Fuad's visit included a trip to Horrocksis Cotton Mill in Preston, Lancashire and staying with Mrs. Greville at Polsedon Lacey. A similar example sold in our Auction 17, Lot 1805 for $1100.
