  1. I'd forgotten that. It appeared on some of the early copper centavos but was quickly replaced by la union hace la fuerza.

    Same meaning really.

    I used to collect Bolivian medals of this period but stayed away from religious medals, which this seems to be. I can't even think of a reference work that might cover it although an Argentinian site called moviarg.com does cover some other S.A. countries.

  2. The top medal on this page:

    is the one usually attributed to Parkes. Count the shamrocks, there's a different number. 

    A large variety  of medallions were issued, only 4 or 5 officially, and the literature is sketchy. The official issues are listed in Lawrence Brown's British Historical Medals Volume 2. The BHM numbers start around the BHM 1130 mark.

  3. Are there any Canadian medal collectors able to help me with this beauty? I can't find another online and the only reference,
    Canadian Diamond Jubilee Medals by R. W. Mclachan on Archive.org suffers from bad OCR scanning. The edges are so crisp and sharp you could cut yourself.
    Obverse:
    Laureated bust of the Queen, left, 
     1837 to her left,  1897 to her right.
    Around which:
     VICTORIA QUEEN. AND. EMPRESS 
    Reverse:  
    A shield bearing the arms of Great Britain ; outside of which a garter inscribed 
    TO COMMEMORATE THE. SIXTIETH. YEAR. OF. MAJESTY'S. REIGN 
    Around which  is a narrow wreath of 
    maple leaves with CANADA at the top and the date  1897 below. 
    It is signed QUINT PHILA.
    (S. H. QUINT & SON This is a firm of engravers and medallists
    doing business in Philadelphia.)
     

    Bronze 38 mm.

    This medal, in aluminum,  was distributed among the school children of Montreal by the  Star newspaper.The same medal was distributed in bronze and silver as prizes by the Montreal Exposition Co. at their exhibition held in August  1897.

  4. 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.
