It is struck in copper and weighs xx grams.

Young head of Victoria, facing left, with her hair in her familiar "bun", with two ribbons. The engraving work is quite crude.
VICTORIA QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN

Honor Virtutis Praemium
This is a common motto meaning honour is the reward of virtue. It appears to have been adopted by many organisations, including one with a very local Blackpool connection.

Arnold School Motto
Honor Virtutis Praemium happen to be the motto of Arnold School Blackpool. This excellent local school is situated a few hundred metres away from our office on the opposite side of Lytham Road.
