There are quite a few varieties from 7 mm up to 55 mm diameter. Size and weight are going to be a great help whiile you figure out the pictures

Thanks for the response. It's bigger than 5cm I would say . Initially I would say about 7cm? Won't add pics because file size 'too big' even though they are phone pics

You need to reduce the size of photo to less than 500Mb.

I normally use Paint to open photo on my PC. Then select "resize" and chose "Pixels". Reducing the pixels number to about 400 in one of the dimension should do the trick. You photo will then be less than 500Mb.

Hi all.

OK, you're doing well. I'm guessing that the other side of the medal is a bust of Prince Albert facing left. It's an interesting piece in that most of the medals were issued for the opening of the Exchange rather than the first stone. Even so, in this condition, the price tops out at around £15.
