Eimer 1455, BHM 2461.

89mm. Bronze. By W.Wyon.

Reverse showing standing figures of Commerce and Industry, their hands clasped, each crowned by Britannia. Edge unnamed.

Some slight cracking which is not suprising given the considerable size of this medal. Edge cut at 12 o'clock on obverse, otherwise Good Very Fine and very rare. By far the rarest of the 1851 Great Exhibition Medals with only 174 awarded, compared with 2918 prize medals.
