Vicky of a different sort

[Christoph1945]

                    Having recently detected a new building project and harvested in some sixteen coins and a small bag of copper/brass/lead scrap I decides to sort the scrap into different none ferrous scrap cartons ready for weighing in next year.

                   Upon closer inspection of what I thought was a scrap lead disc, I noticed slight patterns under the dirt and oxides. A little washing under the tap and a light rubbing with an old tooth brush revealed that the item was in fact a commemorative medallion.

                   Side "A" under a crown and crossed flags reads....1837 to 1897  In commemoration of the longest reign of any English monarch.
                   Side "B" has four heads, depicting Victoria, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and the Infant Prince!
