This bronze medal, created by William Wyon in 1851, portrays Prince Albert in profile. The medal commemorates his role as President of the Royal Commission for the Great Exhibition, a significant event in Victorian England. The inscription surrounding the portrait reads "His Royal Highness Prince Albert, President of the Royal Commissioners." This small, yet detailed, medal is a testament to the artistic skill of Wyon and provides insight into the visual culture of the 19th century.
