<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yarm, post: 1434995, member: 5795&quot;]Just to close the loop on this, the Crystal Palace had various reincarnations in the UK starting in 1851. Pinches produced this beautiful obverse for the 1854 Crystal Palace exhibition in Sydenham (British Historical Medal 2549) in 42mm and 63mm sizes and various metals. It pictures the Crystal Palace building on the reverse. The obverse design was subsequently used for prize medals including this one awarded in 1891. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n89/rwyarmch/Message%20board%2012/MergedCrystalPalacephotography.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 42mm white metal version has also (erroneously) been included in Hibler-Kappen&#039;s work on So-Called Dollars for the Crystal Palace in New York as HK-8a. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Crystal_Palace.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Crystal_Palace.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/Crystal_Palace.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
