Am researching this item for my Dad.
From what little information I have discovered,
I know it is from 1877 NSW, Australia.
The head on the medal is of Hercules Robinson, Governor of NSW at the time.
I have a suspicion that it is from the 1877 NSW Exhibition?
There is another one at the Powerhouse Museum Collection
(That is where the photo is from):
http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=308114&img=854…
Description Medal, awarded to Sir Hercules G. Robinson KCMG, Governor, 1877. Registration number N376-1
And it says that that one was actually awarded to the Governor
so I dont know if this was part of a collection given to him, or part of a collection made for the Exhibition and the Governor was Given one of the coins or what.
I am pretty sure that mine didnt belong to the governor but I could be totally mistaken.
Any infomation on history (or value) of this item,
what it was used for or given to, who it was made by -
anything at all really would be great!
Thanks :)
