I like the two globes and the high relief on this one - Don't know a lot about it but will have fun researching!

Don't delete it, jobwobblie! More people will see this if it has its own topic, and perhaps someone will have information about it.
By the way, that's a fantastic medal!

Thanks Hondo
Well - I can't delete it so for now it stays
Found this so far:
"John Wesley (/#712;w#603;sli/; 28 June [O.S. 17 June] 1703 - 2 March 1791) was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the independent Methodist movement that continues to this day.

And reference to a Medal for the Twentieth Century Fund (but no picture so not sure if it is the same)

"Commonly known as the 'Million Guinea Fund', it was inaugurated by the WM Conference in 1898 under the skilful management of Sir Robert W. Perks. It aimed to raise one guinea from each of the 500,000 WM members, plus support from a substantial number of adherents and from other Methodist denominations. Rich and poor members were expected to contribute the same amount, but many wealthy members found as many as 500 poorer ones on whose behalf they could contribute. Some poor members saved their contribution by walking to work or forgoing modest luxuries. There was also provision for Sunday School children to contribute one shilling, for which they received a Wesley medallion. (90,000 of these were struck.) Adult contributors received a printed certificate."

@joe, thx for posting this. I'm seeing a few examples for sale on worthpoint, but not much elsewhere. From one of the descriptions, it is a "1901 Missionary Society Methodist Episcopal Church Conference Medal". Also, it seems like you were trying to reference another thread. If that is still the case, please send me a dm, and I can add it. Thx.


Added: ok yes you are fine having this token in the main "post your new token" thread http://goccf.com/t/301479) and here since you are looking for more information.
