POST MEDIEVAL MEDAL
Unknown artist
A lead alloy medallion. Heavily corroded in parts with the upper edge damaged. Philip Atwood states: "... probably a coronation medal of 1902. This would mean it must be Queen Alexandra on the reverse although ... it looks like a facing portrait, which is unusual. It's not official (issue) but seemingly one of the many commercially produced souvenir medals". There appears to be no parallel of this type of medal at the British Museum and is presumably a locally issued commemorative medal.
