Notes:

The first occasion on which an example of this medal has been handled, and previously known only through the Milford Haven reference.

Lady Feodora Gleichen (1861-1922), a student of Alphonse Legros, was a member of the Society of Medallists. Her medallic output is small, but varied and interesting.
