Post your "Penny Black"

I really like the W. Wyon representation of Queen Victoria that served as the inspiration
for the Penny Black postage stamp. Here's that image on a prize medal from Cambridge
University. Beginning in 1857 the University awarded a gold medal to the outstanding student
in English Law. The 1863 winner was Marston Clarke Buszard who went on to be a member
of Parliament.
