Description:
Offered here is a 1975 European Architectural Heritage Year proof medal set, issued in England to commemorate the continent-wide initiative focused on historic preservation and architectural heritage. This original set contains five bronze proof medals, each depicting a notable historic site, unified by a shared reverse design referencing the European Architectural Heritage Year.

Included medals feature the following sites: Stonehenge, Melrose Abbey, Hampton Court Palace, Caernarfon Castle, and Berney Arms Windmill (Norfolk). Each medal showcases crisp architectural detail with a proof-style finish, reflecting careful original production rather than circulation use.

The medals are housed in their original blue velvet presentation case with satin-lined lid, embossed in gold “Limited Proof Edition – Made in England.” The original outer slipcover is included. While the slipcover shows noticeable wear and creasing from age, it remains intact and protects the presentation case well.

This is a complete, original set with all five medals present, ideal for collectors of architectural history, commemorative medals, or 1970s European heritage issues.
