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=2There 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:
