Protection of Life from Fire Medal 1845 by B. Wyon (3rd Type)
Offered is a gorgeous 1845 bronze medal by Benjamin Wyon. This piece is of the 3rd type designed for the Society for the Protection of Life from Fire - an insurance consortium which supported firefighting activities. Both the design and strike are typical of the first class skill of the Wyon dynasty, and the sublime, chocolate patina which envelops this piece makes it a first class example of the type. Housed in its original case, this piece represents a true survivor, and an opportunity not to be missed!
