1839 English medal by B. Wyon . Silvered bronze. Uniface with the obverse depicting tropical plants ; the reverse is blank. 51 mm. Appears to have been the Top of something with a single pin hinge at the top. Snuff box come to mind but this does not appear to be a cover of a sealed item.

The reverse of the Quebec piece is stunning.


This one is very interesting. A British medal, but it portrays obviously tropical plants. Something to do with India, perhaps? Another colony?

LM, that is facinating isn't it. 1839 was fairly early in Ben Wyon career also I believe. The relief and detail of that piece is something special to look at.

NYGiant, I do not like to pay much for a medal,or anything else this was not one of my cheaper buys, $130
