Yes your right, they are not in very good condition, just glad that the one in my collection is in excellent condition, even so you don't see too many of them.

I wonder what that would be if it ever came on the market. I would imagine that the Corporation of the City of London has it in their collection.

The silver medal remained in the Newton family until 2025, when the Lord Mayor's great grandson sold it through Hansons Auctioneers. Mis-catalogued as "bronze", it fetched the princely sum of £420 GBP.
