Product Description
The Queen's National Medal was part of a prestigious award given to students by the Department of Science and Art in South Kensington, London, established in 1856. The Department aimed to promote education in science and art to bolster Britain’s industrial and cultural prowess during the 19th century.
The medal was designed by Leonard Charles Wyon, a prominent engraver and medallist of the time. Wyon's intricate design featured Queen Victoria on the obverse and an emblematic representation of the arts and sciences on the reverse, reflecting the Victorian era's reverence for knowledge and craftsmanship.
In 1859, William H. Scott from Carlisle was awarded this medal at Stage 5B, recognizing his excellence in studies under the department's rigorous curriculum. The 55 mm bronze medal highlighted the achievement in an era when such honors were vital for career advancement in art and science, symbolizing both personal and national pride
