This silver medal, created by William Wyon in 1837, commemorates Queen Victoria's visit to the Corporation of London. The medal features a profile portrait of the young Queen, her hair styled in a simple braid, and the inscription "VICTORIA" on the right edge. This small, finely detailed work exemplifies the medallic art of the Victorian era. The medal is a fine example of the use of portraiture to celebrate royal figures and historical events.
