bagerap Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I'm having a few unexpected difficulties with this one. On the token, it is misspelled CORESPONDING, which I can't find. Also "Integrity of his jury" other examples give the jury.. I'm wondering if this is a contemporary knock off. Bronze 32 mm.

constanius Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 BHM# 378 British Museum's Curator's comments Bindman According to Bell the dies for this medal were engraved by Thomas and/or Peter Wyon in Birmingham. He adds that it was probably struck by Kempson, a Birmingham token manufacturer. http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=948973&partId=1 You are most welcome Bob, your friend Pat.

bagerap Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thank you Pat. Strangely the only BM reference that I could find was a pewter medal at 33 mm. Also, unless the museum has mistranscribed it there remains the HIS JURY/THE JURY divergence. Sadly the BM doesn't show an image but your BMH attribution sorted it out.
