Daniel-Dupuis, semi-naked female figure sat on tricycle, right hand holding a torch and left hand on the tiller, rev. legend above wreath, named (Calais-Douvres 1904, Sir William Crundall), edge impressed argent and cornucopia, 68mm, 137.44g (PBE 305; BM Acq. 1983-7, pl. 39, 63; BDM I, 662; cf. MDC 14, 789; cf. Noonans 264, 903). Test marks on edge, otherwise extremely fine; in original maroon gilt-blocked fitted case, initials W.C. inscribed on front £300-£400

Provenance: BDW Auction 10, 22 February 1995, lot 479.
Sir William Henry Crundall (1847-1934), timber merchant and politician, 13-times Conservative mayor of Dover between 1886 and 1910; instigator of Dover Corporation Tramways in 1897 following a period in which many of the town’s roads were widened; chairman of Dover Harbour Board; Deputy Lieutenant of Kent, 1922; president of the Dover branch of the Conservative party. Despite the civic connection which may have spawned the award of this medal, it is presumed that Crundall was a motorist in his own right at the time, which would make this a genuinely early British motoring award
