Comment

Brown: The subscription list for the medal was opened in July 1794 and names were entered at the following places: Mr Young, Goldsmith, Ludgate Street; Mr Hawkins, Watchmaker, West Passage, Royal Exchange; Mr Tinson, Goldsmith, Charing Cross and Mr Barnett (the engraver of the medal), Cockspur Street, London. The silver was priced at 1½ guineas each and the bronze at half a guinea each, the latter to be struck after the required number of silver specimens had been produced. No details are given for the pewter specimens and they are possibly of a slightly later date.
