Title
Post-medieval medal
Description
English: An incomplete lead alloy post-medieval commemorative medal dating to AD c.1887, missing fragments from its edge. The medal commemorates the Golden Jubillee (50 years of reign) of Queen Victoria, issued by of Samuel Whitaker, Mayor of Derby in 1886.

The obverse depicts the head of Victoria left, and is inscribed 'IN COMMEMORATION OF THE JUBI[LEE] REIGN OF H. G. M. QUEEN VICTORIA - 1837-1887'.

The reverse depicts a stag, kneeling left, within a gated, fenced enclosure, with a leaf covered branch rising up each side to a crown at the top. Above the stag the medal is inscribed 'BOROUGH / OF DERBY / S. WHITAKER ESQ / MAYOR / JUBILEE 1887'.

The medal appears to have been minted in advance as Samuel Whitaker died in office and mayors were only appointed for one year each.
