This bronze medal, created by William Wyon in 1849, commemorates the British victory in the Second Anglo-Sikh War. The medal features a profile portrait of Queen Victoria, wearing a crown and with the inscription "VICTORIA REGINA" surrounding her head. The medal, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a small but significant piece of British history, representing the imperial ambitions of the Victorian era.
