Eduardo Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 This 77.4mm. medalion of Queen Victoria indicates, in its reverse, the word "In Commemoration". Could someone plese tell me what is it commemorating?Eduardo
Ed_Haynes Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Putting this over in the "Coins & Commemorative Medallions" section -- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showforum=65 -- might get a quicker response, as this is a numismatic medal, not a phaleristic medal. Quite different creatures.Can someone with God Powers move it?
Nick Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 In the absence of a date it probably commemorates either her Golden or Diamond Jubilees ?
Ralph A Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 She's wearing the whole kit - Order of the Garter and everything, so I'd guess... 1887. Golden Jubilee. (Might even be Diamond Jubilee; she's not got on her small "1870" Garrard crown.)
peter monahan Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Nick & RalphThat was goinfg to be my guess too, but the wording "In Commemoration", rather than something celebratory suggests, maybe, a memorial medal - something from 1900 or later.My tuppence worth. Peter
Eduardo Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 Thankyou Peter, Ralph and Chairman for the info, and a special thanks to Ed for re directing this post to the proper place. I have two other British medalions which I will present to hear your opinion.Eduardo
