The engravers signature "COLLINGE" appears vertically to the right of the stool leg.

The legend reads:

Fineness = Alloy = millesimal fineness, and carats.
Gold Content = Fine gold content in troy ounces.
* Issue Limit. Although the issue limit is stated as 300 pieces of each medallion, several specimens we have seen bear number higher than 300! We assume there is a perfectly logical and valid reason for this, and do believe that the issue limit is correct, but the numbering system itself was rather quirky.
Diameters
We note that Fearon quotes the diameters of these medallions as 58 and 40mms, whereas we have measured them at 57 and 38mms.

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.
