Wellington Waterloo medal by Kempson - info?

Recommended Posts

I picked this up at market today amongst a lot of other coins. I am struggling to get a complete ID on it. Measures about 44mm across (1.75 inches) and is in white metal - probably pewter.

I have found one described in the V&A: http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O176361/medal-kempson/ but this gives no BHM reference. It is also here: https://collection.nam.ac.uk/detail.php?acc=1986-04-14-1 but again without a reference.

I know a dealer who is keen to buy it off me, but I would like to get a BHM reference first and some idea of value? I have found similar designs used on medals and token boxes at several auctions (DNW and London Coins included) but not as a straight medal.

My field and my speciality, and I've never seen this before. Certain that it's not in BHM, possibly Eimer, which I don't have. I wouldn't part with this until I was sure.

Can't check this out until Friday when I'm home. I'll PM you if I find anything.

Sorry Paddy but I've spent most of the day on this and can find nothing. Zip, nada, zilch, bubkes.  Not one reference, not even a mention.

Thanks for trying @bagerap. Did you see the examples in the two links I gave? Seems unusual that there are examples in well documented collections without it making it into any reference.

In the end I will sell it as it is outside my collecting area. Any idea of value? PM me if you don't want to reply in public 🙂
