Duke and Duchess of York Visit America 1 (121 ? CC15) - $15.00

　　Attention collectors, coin buffs & enthusiasts!!!

　　You are looking at a unique one-of-a-kind coin/medallion of the Duke and Duchess of York. The medallion was a memento of their visit to America in 1910. The coin has a hole in the top, probably used on a key chain or a necklace, but it is very rare and in good shape. Very few let in existence.

　　A must have in any collection.

　　In Brief:

　　As Duke and Duchess of York, George and Victoria Mary or May (she was informally known as May, after her birth month) carried out a wide variety of public duties. On the death of Queen Victoria on 22 January 1901, George's father ascended the throne as King Edward VII. George inherited the titles of Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay, and for much of the rest of that year, he was styled His Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall and York.

　　Duchess of York is the principal courtesy title held by the wife of the Duke of York. The title is gained with marriage alone and is forfeited upon divorce. Four of the twelve Dukes of York did not marry or had already assumed the throne prior to marriage; therefore there have only ever been eleven Duchesses of York. These Duchesses have either given birth to females (not heirs to the dukedom of York), or they have never had any children.
