Preston Guild Medallions
In 1179, King Henry II granted Preston, Lancashire to become a town (now a city) with a Guild Merchant.
A Guild Merchant is a members group of traders and craftsmen. Only those of The Guild could trade in their business. Anyone not a member were unable to trade within Preston and on the occasion non members continued their business it was at the permission of the members of The Guild.

Once Every Preston Guild
"Once every Preston Guild" is a local expression meaning infrequesntly. In fact the ancient fair called Preston Guild or Preston Guild Merchant was held at irregular intervals before 1542 and then every 20 years there after.
Preston is now the only city to celebrate The Guild every 20 years. Celebrations include street processions and entertainment as well as a more traditional procession.

We Buy Medals & Medallions
We make an active market in medals and medallions, whether individually, or in complete sets and collections. Buying and selling prices vary with the market price of silver (or gold where appropriate).
The secondary (secondhand) market prices for silver medallions is usually quite competitively priced, and for connoisseurs of medallic or numismatic art, previously owned medallion sets often represent a bargain especially compared with the original new prices.
Please contact us if you have medals or medallions for sale.
