Which Wyon ?

William and Thomas were long dead by 1893.

Very stunning piece !

The medal was Awarded in that year, the medal or artist rendering may be much older than that. I have some Victoria Awards that were handed out over a 20 year period, the only way to tell was the date stamped on the edge.
