Comment

Hawkins: This is another partisan medal issued to keep the cause of Prince Charles (the Young Pretender) alive: it was called the "Oak Medal." It was privately executed by Thomas Pingo, at the expense of a Society which met at the Crown and Anchor, opposite to St. Clement's Church, in the Strand. Each member, upon the payment of his subscription of one guinea, was entitled to a specimen in copper. In the case of the specimens in gold and silver, the value of the metal, in addition to the subscription, was charged.
