The dealer wanted £5 for it, and the reverse is a common type. I thought £5 was too expensive and the dealer agreed, but said that he had overbid for a lot of them and was trying to break even. If I see it again, I'll ask for a photo so that you can compare. Report this Post to the Staff
meerchant1 New Member United Kingdom 24 Posts	Posted 07/24/2012 5:31 pm thanks Pertinax, they more than likely produced 1000's of these to give away to school and such like. most of the ones I have seen have either a location or a company name as such on them . thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 07/24/2012 6:01 pm This medallion has the arms of the City of London. You're right that most of them have a location or a company name, but an alternative was a burgh or town arms. In Manchester, my grandfather told me, that every schoolchild got one as a gift.
