Anyone know more about this one and/or know whether it is real or a copy?

I found a small mention of one being found in Proceedings By Somersetshire Archaeological and Natural History Society at: http://books.google.com/books?id=nP...ult&resnum=2

There is a similar medal mentioned in The history of the ancient town and borough of Newbury in the county of Berks By Walter Money at: http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA...&output=text but it talks about one with Carlisle on it instead of Culloden.

The only thing it mentions about Culloden is a speech given about it:


Quote:
The Rebellion Of Charles Edward, The Young Pretender, 1746.

After the defeat of the Pretender at the Battle of Cul- loden, and suppression of the Rebellion, the Corporation of Newbury agreed on the following grandiloquent address to His Majesty King George II. [...]


and then it proceeds to outline the speech.

Only one mention that might be the same as this one (see 2nd note) from a 1905 Numismatic Circular of Spink and Son:


Quote:
Battle of Culloden, 1746. Brass, gilt. Obv. WILL . DUKE CUMBERLAND. The Duke on horseback ; a city in the distance. Ex. : BORN.15 AP. 1721. Ri. REBELLION.JUSTLY.REWARDED. Rebels in flight, cavalry and infantry in pursuit. Ex. : AT.CULLODEN. 16.AP. j 1746.

Battle of Culloden, 1746. Brass. Obv. Same as preceding. Ri. Same as preceding but ex. : CULLODEN 16 AP. | 1746


A silver one is mentioned in Exhibition of the Royal House of Stuart By New Gallery (London, England), Herbert A. (Herbert Appold) Grueber, Henry Jenner, Harold Arthur Lee Dillon at: http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA...&output=text

G'day, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince...f_Cumberland
Perhaps what you have is a Conder-token, or similar ?

Thanks for the link Peter.. it sounds like it may be something like that. I sure can't find much else on it.
