This is a pretty neat Royal Horticultural Society Banksian medal! I will likely find a nicer example to upgrade, but that doesn't mean I don't love it!!

Looks very nice. Engraved by the famous William Wyon
Yours looks polished and treated with varnish to avoid oxidation but that was good care of meals in the past. Nothing wrong with it.

We have a silver version of the earlier incarnation as Horticultural Society of London at Numista: https://en.numista.com/402785

If you'd like, I could use your images to add a new bronze version?

It would be helpful to have the tech details: diameter, weight, thickness etc.

Thanks

The photos can be used for anything you need to use them for! The weight is 26.58 g and has a diameter of 38.1. I will have to go back and grab it to check the thickness! I will do that once I get some time
