To commemorate 25 Years in the numismatic business, and 10 Years working for myself I have issued the medal pictured above. The harpist was designed by renowned English medallist Joseph Moore, originally appearing on Welsh eisteddfod medals of the 1860s; I've adopted it as my logo. This and the Welsh language legend are a nod to my personal interest in Welsh medals as well as being a jocular reference to the medal's metal content (it is a gilded zinc-based alloy). The diameter is 50mm.

Please note: I found it very difficult to photograph this medal. In my opinion it appears much better in the flesh!
