1837 Queen Victoria Medal

Here is a cool medal I picked up last fall. Commemorating an 1837 of Queen Victoria to London to attend a banquet on November 9th. I like medals that commemorate a specific historical and even, and like them even better the medal has a specific date.

This is a large medal, about 60 mm and is in pretty high relief, especially the bust of Victoria. It is SUPER shiny white metal, you can see my camera and some of myself reflected on the mirror like reverse.






I didn't think the picture really captured the medal, so I included a short video I shot in my backyard last fall. It shows the size and relief pretty well, even if my I'm the best camera man.




If you open the video in YouTube and crank up the resolution to 1080p it looks pretty sweet!
