Thank you for a most interesting post. I note that the coin image was copyrighted. The head contains an image of the four Kings while the reverse is either the standard one or contains advertising material from organisation that have presumably purchased the right to have their material put on the reverse of the coin. I would like to learn who manufactured the coin.There is a mention of 37 Snowhill London EC on the coin ( which could be a clue ). I have recently purchased this token from E-Bay

The link to the piece in the V&A Museum is not one of the Four Generations pieces but is another piece made by (or for) Henry Grueber. It is the Far Famed Cakes commemorative. Note that there is a spelling mistake in that the Y is missing from MAJESTY'S but this doesn't make it rare. The varieties with MAJESTY'S spelled correctly are much less common.  |

Sorry I am a bit late to the party. I have just started collecting this series in the past 6 months. Here is a photo of the Winnipeg piece. Considered rare in my reference material. Cheers!  |

Fantastic medal, buzzardw6m, and to the CCF! Thank you for sharing your item with us and reviving this thread. I have one of the standard pieces and was unaware of the advertising ones!  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

That is a gorgeous standard piece. I haven't obtained that piece yet. I am waiting to find one similar to the condition that yours is in.

Thank you, jbuck and buzzardw6m! These are readily available but it seems that prices are wildly variable.

This is a Four Generations Shellcard Medal - its 38mm in diameter. It also has a slight different look with a beaded ring around the shields and not solid ring. Based on everything I have read, these medals were struck by The Birmingham Mint for H. Grueber  |
