The obverse is not true colour, but this presentation best brings out the details.

Nice coin. She looks like she has the same jaw line as honest Abe!
I would say more Eisenhower to me.
The lion and anchor signify Birmingham.
The date mark is 1896, though if it was not for the upraised curl, on the upper left, it would seem the mark for 1886.
Baroness Burdett-Coutts was one of the great philanthropists of her time. I could not find anything about the awardee, Alfred A. Mitchell and his Plumber's Work. Not much available on the Westminster Technical Institute, either. Nothing on the medallist, Owen Hale, either.

Pretty medal, though, despite the slightly frumpy portrait. The engraving is nice, and that contrast on the reverse is attractive.
