At first I thought this was a coin, but later research reveled it to be a medal issued in Edinburgh Scotland, it dates 1749 and is in bronze they were also made in silver, and were issued by Jacobite sympathiseres. It is worth about £150 and double that for a silver, hope you enjoy the pictures :)

Nice find that medal looks to be in great shape thanks for sharing :o
 
I have just had a valuation done on the medal and it seems I have undervalued it, a London company has valued the medal at £500 and said that it is made of silver there for much rearer. ;D

You know what, I thought it looked like silver but didn't say anything as you seemed to think it was Bronze.

I wish I had said earlier & then I would of looked really clever ::) I don't get many opportunities :-\

EXCELLENT. Thats half your new detector paid for! Or can't you part with it?? I couldn't!

Now get out & find the matching pair.

PS. Thats nearly $1000 before anyone asks
