1727. Leopold I: Reconstruction Of The Bridge In The Forest Of Haye. Obv: Leopold to right, in peruke, wearing armor and the Order of the Golden Fleece LEOPOLDVS. I. D.G. DVX. LOT. BAR. REX. IER
Rev: A traveling horseman going over bridge toward Abundance in countryside. In background landscape a herm of Mercury PROVIDENTIA. PRINCIPIS
Exergue: VIAE. MVNITAE MDCCXXVII Signed: SV.
AE64mm. Ref: Forrer V, p. 309, #6; Slg. Florange 171; Molinari 40/120; Europese Penningen # 1739
Leopold Joseph Charles (Leopold I) (1679-1729), Duke of Lorraine and Bar (1697), was the son of Charles V, Duke of Lorraine and Bar. This medal commemorates further the many reconstruction projects that Leopold I, Duke of Lorraine and Bar, fostered during his reign, in this case, the reconstruction of the bridge in the forest of Haye. The reverse alludes to the fact that the bridge increased commerce (Mercury) in Lorraine and led to more abundance for its inhabitants.
A herm, referred to in this medal, is a statue consisting of the head of the Greek god Hermes mounded on a square stone post. Hermes is the god of commerce, invention, cunning and theft, who also serves as messenger and herald for the other gods.

1815. Louis XVIII. The Holy Alliance.Obv. Bust left LVDOVICVS XVIII FRANC ET NAV REX, ANDRIEU F on truncation.
Rev. REGNIS EVROPAE CONCORDIA STABILIENDIS, on shield at centre GALLIA AVSTRIA BORVSS (Prussia) ANGLIA RVSSIA, SACRO FOEDERE IVNCTAE, in exergue ACCESSIT GALLIA NOVEMB MDCCCXV, signed F GATTEAUX Allegorical figures of France and ? facing in each in front of shield and a group of standards bearing the arms of the Great Powers involved in the Napoleonic Wars (Britains, interestingly enough, is at the back, half covered) with a unicorn behind the right figure.
AE50.
This is a confusing medal. It depicts the nations of Austria, Great Britain, France, Prussia and Russia as part of the Holy Alliance. Yet many historical sources say Great Britain never joined due to distaste and constitutional incompatibility with the others reactionary policies. But other sources say Britain did join at the same time as France (November 20, 1815). Who is right? If Britain did not join why are they on the medal, but if they did why is there so much written to the contrary?LordBest

1857. Sir William Chambers and Somerset House. Taylor 52a.Obv. Bust of William chambers to right. CHAMBERS 1725-1796 Signed B WYON AFTER WESTMACOTT
Rev. Elevation of Somerset House to the Strand, featuring nine bayed entrance block. SOMERSET HOUSE 1781 SIR WILLIAM CHAMBERS RA ARCHITECT. Signed B WYON. Edge inscription: ART UNION OF LONDON 1857.
AE55. Taylor 52a.
Issued as one of the Art Union series. The medal gives an incorrect date of birth to chambers, 725 as opposed to 1723. The portrait is based on a bust displayed at the Royal Academy in 1797 by Sir Richard Westmacott, this is now in Sir John Soanes museum.
Built under an act of 1775, as a great new administrative centre to house official and academic bodies. Designed by Sir William Chambers, the Surveyor- General, and completed in the nineteenth century by Sir Robert Smirke (eastern extension to Kings College) and Sir James Pennethorne (western extension to Waterloo Bridge). Chambers decided on a central courtyard, approached through a block of narrow frontage, which was to house the learned societies, including the Royal Academy and Society of Antiquaries. It is the Strand façade of this entrance block which is shown on the medal, it was complete by 1781 and incorporated sculpture by fellow Academicians Bacon, Carlini and Wilton.LordBest

Obverse: EDOUARD . V . D . G . ANG . FR . ET . HIB . REX . J . DASSIER F . / Bust of Edward V.
Reverse: NAT . 8 . OCTOB . 1470 . MORT . 1483 . / A monument, on top of which are 2 infants
embracing -- a reference to the affectation of Edward and his brother Richard. At center is a bas-relief
showing the murder of the young princes in the Tower. Inscription at bottom of monument.
30.13 gm., 40 mm.
Eimer #21; MI I p. 18-19; Eisler 259/19.
Coins of Edward V are so rare as to be virtually non-existent. So in place of a coin of Edward V, I have a medal with his portrait. It is not contemporary with Edward V - that is, 15th century - but neither is it modern.
In 1731, Jean Dassier of Geneva, Switzerland, made a series of 34 medals showing the Kings and Queens of England. Dassier was an important European medalist, and this series is one of his most important. This series of medals was begun during his second stay in London, and was approved by Queen Caroline.
Eventually the dies for the medals came into the possession of Sir Edward Thomason, and he re-issued the medals around 1820. This medal of Edward V is from Thomason's re-issued series. Callimachus

87a. George V and Queen Mary.Official Medal for the Coronation of George V & Queen Mary, 1911.
Designed by Sir Edgar Bertram MacKennel.
Obverse: GEORGE V CROWNED JUNE 22 1911 / Crowned bust of George V wearing Coronation robes; Orb at left; laurel branch below.
Reverse: QUEEN MARY JUNE 22 1911 / Crowned bust of Queen Mary; roses and a ribbon below.
12.24 gm of .925 Sterling silver; 30 mm; toned UNC.
Eimer # 1922, BHM #4022.
This medal has spent most of its life (110 + years) in the small envelope in which it was issued.
That accounts for the absolutely flawless surfaces on the medal, and the dark toning of these surfaces.
The toning is mostly dark brown, but with flashes of gold, blue, and mauve.
If you like toning on coins, this one is gorgeous.

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company Centennial Medal, 1927Text from the original information card:
"This medal is issued on the one hundredth birthday of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company to commemorate not merely an important milestone in its own history but the rounding out of a century of a definite American railroad achievement.
The Baltimore & Ohio was the first American railroad to operate its line for the public handling of passengers and freight. This was early in 1830. In all the one hundred years of its life it has changed neither its corporate name, its charter, nor its fundamental organization.
The obverse of the medal depicts one of the most modern trains of the Baltimore & Ohio - The Capitol Limited or The National Limited - drawn by one of the largest and most modern passenger locomotives built. The Spirit of Transportation guides the locomotive in its onward flight. [Inscription: ONE HUNDRED YEARS - SAFETY STRENGTH SPEED.]
The reverse shows the Tom Thumb, designed by Alderman Peter Cooper of New York and the first steam locomotive to be built in the United States, even though it was never put into practical service. [Inscription: THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY 1827 - 1927.]
Mr. Hans Schuler, director of the Maryland Institute in Baltimore, is the sculptor who designed the medal and it was reproduced direct from his models by the Medallic Art Company of New York City."Matt Inglima

Jewish Lads' BrigadeAE medal; 29.30 mm. diameter, 3.13 mm. thick, 0°
Obv.: Mounted officer inspecting rank of cadets, flag behind bearing Hebrew inscription, most likely, "They go from strength to strength" (the Brigade's motto, taken from the 84th Psalm).
Rev.: • THE • JEWISH • LADS’ • BRIGADE • / LEWIS • EMANUEL • MEDAL, around rim, large JLB within a laurel wreath in center.
Modelled on the Church Lads' and Church Girls' Brigade, the Jewish Lads’ Brigade was formed in 1895 by Colonel Albert E. W. Goldsmid, a British Jewish Army officer, to provide activities for children of the poor Jewish immigrants who flooded into the UK, predominantly from Eastern Europe. Girls were admitted to membership in the 1963 (as the Jewish Girls' Brigade) and in 1974 the JLB and JGB amalgamated to become the Jewish Lads’ and Girls’ Brigade.
The Lewis Emanuel Medal was given for at least four passes in the Proficiency Badge Scheme. This medal appears to have been struck without the bezel (the rim is smooth with no indication of filing) by which the medal hung from a ribbon when presented in the Proficiency Badge Scheme.Stkp

Norwood Jewish Orphanage (London Borough of Lambeth, England, U.K.)AE medal, 35 mm., 1953.
Obv: JEWISH / ORPHANAGE / NORWOOD / JUNE 2ND 1953, Jewish star below, PATRON below star, H • M • THE QUEEN around rim.
Rev: • CORONATION • OF • ELIZABETH II • along rim, head facing right, flower below neck.
Ref: None known. But see generally, “The Jewish Orphanage at Norwood,” The Shekel, XXXVII No. 2 (March to April 2004), pp. 32-33.
Note: In 1795 financiers Abraham and Benjamin Goldsmid invited subscriptions for the foundation of a Jew’s Hospital, which opened at Miles End in 1807 under the name Neveh Zedek (Abode of Righteousness). By 1860 that building had become overcrowded, and Barnett and Isabella Meyers presented the organization with eight acres of land in West Norwood in South London. A building that accommodated 220 children was erected, and in 1861 Sir Anthony Rothchild laid the foundation stone. In 1877, the Jew’s Hospital amalgamated with the Jews’ Orphan Asylum (founded in 1831 in East End) at the Norwood site under the name Jews’ Hospital and Orphan Asylum. It obtained royal patronage in 1901. In 1928 it was renamed Norwood Jewish Orphanage, and in 1956 it again changed its name to Norwood Home for Jewish Children.Stkp
