yarm Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 This medal by Wyon was awarded in 1890. The medal and its case strike me as a bit gaudy, but after all, it's awarded to flower people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 So it has a glass face. How common is that? Is that desirable as a collector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I love it. Gaudy is in the eye of the beholder and I'd like to behold that beauty in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarm Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Agricultural and horticultural medals are found under glass quite frequently, British historical medals less often. I like interesting medals that are well preserved whether encased in glass or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
