ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2503 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 02:32 am Hi all, found this medallion amongst all of the coins in a collection. It is a long shot but I was hoping to work out which school or institution the medal came from. It is engraved P.A.I.T.A 1928 GRADE VII ELOCUTION On the reverse is DONOR MORGANS' LTD There are three hallmarks at the bottom of the reverse. The P.A. may refer to Port Adelaide, but that is just a guess pics below. many thanks in advance ttkoo The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 03:36 am The hallmarks are English. I believe they translate to: anchor: made in Birmingham lion: sterling silver E in star: not sure, but I think it translates to "made in 1928-29". Are you sure it's Australian in origin? If my reading of the date-stamp is accurate, it seems it was made very quickly after the date on the medal itself, which implies that a British origin might be more likely. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

No, I am not sure it is Australian, it was only a guess as it came from my father but how he came to have it, I don't know. Well that narrows down the search area anyway. Appreciate your help. tt The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
