Medal Commemorative of the Opening of Aston Park and Hall by Her Majesty, 1858. 'Whilst her Majesty was at Aston Hall a gold medal was presented to her...The reverse contains a view of Aston Hall, cut with much skill, care, and delicacy of elaboration, with inscriptions recording the dates of the commencement and completion of the building, and its purchase by the people of Birmingham. In the centre of the obverse is a profile of the Queen, neatly modelled, and surrounded by a wreath composed of the rose, the shamrock, and the thistle, intertwined with oak leaves and other national emblems, displaying great delicacy of manipulation. To these are added inscriptions setting forth the date and occasion of the Royal visit to the town. This work of art was executed by Mr. Joseph Moore.
