Eimer 1392var.

28mm. By Allen & Moore / H.Hyams.

Obverse with bust of Victoria, reverse showing three shields upon a wreath with a grasshopper above. Signed A&M on bust and signed H. Hyams London at bottom of reverse.

About Uncirculated and prooflike.

This intriguing medal is the first of its kind we have encountered. It is almost identical to the usual medal by W. Wyon but it carries the different signatures, has a different reverse legend, which includes the date, along with some other very minor differences. Presumably extremely rare and most unusual to have a medal so similar in design to that of another engraver.
