This is a Christmas gift from my woman. 1872 London Exposition Medals by J.S and A.B Wyon, in its original box as they where minted at the Expo. Queen Victoria on one medal and the symbols for I believe for Greece France and Germany. On the reverse is the Expo Building and the inscription that these were in fact MINTED at the Expo.

Kurt, I have no idea. They were minted as souveniers for those that attended the expo.
