I have 3 suggestions.

a) Try to find a person/institution with the same arms and ask them.

www.college-of-arms.gov.uk may be able to help.

b) As you know the assay office was Birmingham, ask them if they have descriptive records of items assayed in 1901.

c) Contact Birmingham City Archives http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/localstudieslibrary‎
and ask them.

It may seem a bit dumb of me but the symbol on the left does it not look like a bee.
I know one of the colleges or uni's in England use a bee as symbol perhaps Eaton.

I was thinking "M_ College", probably because of the suggestion that it might be an academic prize medal. Somewhere there must be a reference showing colleges which existed in 1901 in the London area with their mottoes, but I haven't found one.
