Precis of parts of a Christopher Peal article of April 1966 (Seaby’s Coin and Medal Bulletin) 1857 London Shadwell Dock when dredged and being rebuilt it was reported labourers were finding quantities of base metal
medallions. Corroded and dirty appearing is if very old in design. Dissenting opinion as to authenticity resulted in a libel case which in effect confirmed their authenticity.
