Comment

Queen Victoria died on 22nd January 1901 and in less than two months the London School Board had prepared the design for a new medal and submitted it for Royal approval. The medal had the portrait of King Edward, designed by F Boucher, and was named 'The King Edward the Seventh Medal'. The medals were made by Spink and Son London.
