From royal celebrations like births, deaths, marriages, and coronations to the fervent Jacobite cause that sought to restore the Stuart kingship, these medallions reflect a rich tapestry of historical narratives.
Notable medallists, including Norbert Roettier, son of the famed John Roettier, crafted exquisite Jacobite medals, while Italian medallist Hamerani added his artistic touch to this intriguing chapter of history.

About Historical Medallions
You may be familiar with my late Aunt, Mrs Neddy Allen who was a numismatist for over 40 years, and had a special interest in medallions related to the City of London. She learnt about the medal business from her late husband, Peter Maundy Allen, and continued to trade well into her 80's. Over the last 15 years, she gradually passed on her knowledge to me and it was the stories behind each of the medallions that I found fascinating.
These historical events shaped our country and many have significance still to this day. Whether it be a gift for someone interested in a special event or something that adds to your collection, owning a medallion is to have a true piece of history to treasure.
