Picked up 4 medals for my world medal collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180549[/ATTACH] </p><p>Commemorative Medals, Old Testament, Elijah fed by ravens at the brook Cherith, copper medal, c.1830, from Sir Edward Thomason’s series of sixty ‘Medallic Illustrations of the Holy Scriptures’, </p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: two ravens swoop on Elijah with food, after the painting by Paolo Veronese</p><p>Reverse: legend in 29 lines</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter: 73.5mm. </p><p><br /></p><p>(BHM.1468, no. 43), extremely fine and very rare in copper</p><p>Brown (BHM) lists the medals from the series in silver and, as are most commonly found, white metal. Examples in copper must be very rare</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180550[/ATTACH] </p><p>King Edward’s School, Bath, bronze shooting medal, 1961</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter: 38.5mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180551[/ATTACH] </p><p>unofficial bronzed Jubilee medal, 1897</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter: 38.5mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1180552[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The Battle of Waterloo, 175th Anniversary, 1990, </p><p>the Royal Mint’s reduced size silver reproduction of Pistrucci’s famous medal</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter: 63.5mm.</p><p>Weight: 153.18gms.</p><p>Composition: Silver</p><p><br /></p><p>I have several versions of the last one.
