A rare Captain Cook medal, once given to Pacific locals, sold for £6,500 at auction, tripling its estimate.
A rare Captain Cook medal, commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks and paid for by the Admiralty, sold for £6,500 at a Wiltshire auction, more than tripling its £2,000 estimate.
One of only 2,000 made, the brass medal was given to locals in the Pacific to introduce them to King George III.
It will now be part of a museum collection.
Other notable items, including a rare Maltese coin and a Russian gold coin, also sold well above estimates.
