On http://www.historicalartmedals.com/..._by_edge.htm under the heading "Use of the term bronze" that individual states:
The American Numismatic Society has 40 Admiral Vernon medals available for viewing on its website. http://numismatics.org/search/resul...non&start=20

The term Bronze, when used to describe the composition of the medals in this web site, is applied very loosely. It should be considered to be synonymous with the numismatic description AE. As such, it is meant to imply that the medal is either pure copper or, more commonly, is a copper alloy, composed primarily of copper with varying amount of tin and/or zinc and sometimes a small amount of arsenic or lead.
