alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 2:33 pm Although there are hundreds of varieties of these medals, this is something I've not seen before. The central Royal crest is supported by five shield roundels, and I can't identify any of them. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 5:48 pm Is that a beaver in the upper right quadrant of the circle that appears at 4 o'clock? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 6:04 pm Is that an official medallion? Because the busts are pretty "Ordinary" the woman's bust looks nothing like Queen Mary and the Kings beard just looks "Wrong" Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 7:56 pm "Official" memorabilia for royal occasions had been outnumbered 10:1 since the early years of Victoria's reign. I do like the suggestion from DBM about the beaver, so this is maybe a Colonial piece. Report this Post to the Staff
Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 3:48 pm These look to be Crests. My guess is that if someone took the time to research this they would find they are crests of either the noble families or regions they come from. Report this Post to the Staff
