Reginald Sebastian Huth (1853-1926) formerly of 32 Phillimore Gardens, Kensington, London was a Merchant Banker by profession and a well-known coin collector who commissioned his own coins and medals to commemorate various events through the medallists John Pinches. These Irish pieces of which there are a series of three designs were perhaps produced to commemorate Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland in 1900.
