Comment
Brown: The word WEYMOUTH is missing on some specimens and an example of this piece is illustrated in the 'Gentleman's Magazine' for 1805. It is noted that the medal was intended to be struck in gold and silver for presentation to Their Majesties, their family and suite on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone of the Free Church at Birmingham on 22nd July 1805.
