Quote: How did you even think to look at this and think medal?
@Galway, I have seen some unbelievable identifications here on the CCF. As a group, we know an amazing amount. There are many specialists who are intimately familiar with their area.
Oriole's answer is great..there are remarkable people who contribute on this site.
Specifically though, when I saw your example the dual bust stood out as a medal from UK and the crown style narrowed down the ruler
I knew there are dozens of marriage, coronation, visits, and so on medals issued like that ...and knowing the "prosperity " angle really helped too.
Your medal looks like a dug find to me...I metal detect as well and identifying crusty old coppers comes naturally to me now lol....plus I love the challenge of nailing down a mystery
