The obverse shows the initials I.D., the reverse the name Thomason. (Fig. II) Another tin medal celebrates the recovery of Queen Elisabeth in 1789, bearing the half-length portrait of court physician Willis and the initials C.I. on the obverse (B. 4590). A similar reference to the health of the sovereign is a sterling coin of George III (1804) (B. 4592), and a tin medal of Ottley from 1872 to mark the recovery of Edward, Prince of Wales. A tin medal signed J. Davis is from the first part of the 19th century and is related to the struggles against the Corn Laws and for free trade. (Fig. 12a —b) The inscription on the obverse is "Hunger" which includes it among the medals of distress (B. 2152). An unsigned tin medal is the last in this line. It marks the death of Frederick Duke of York, with the symbol of an urn on the reverse. The collection has two medals connected with medical institutions. The gilt bronze medal of the Infirmary and Lunatic Hospital in Manchester is from 1796. (Fig 13) The pictures, showing buildings, are the work of A. Seward (B. 3009). The bronze medal of the London Medical Society depicts Sophie Charlotte in half-length together with Hygieia. The date is 1773, the year of its foundation, but was ma de in the 19th century by J. Kirk (St. 6545, Fig. 14.) The collection is richer in medals commemorating medical congresses. The V itĥ and XVIIIth international congresses held in London have medals represented in the collection. The first was made by L. C. Wyon in 1881 with Queen Victoria on the obverse (B. 2393), the second by Cecil Brown in 1913 showing J. Lister on the obverse (St. 2220). Both are of bronze. The silver medal of the Xth veterinary congress planned for 1914 in London has two Hungarian relations.
