I have in my posession a "Education Department Victoria Swimming And Life Saving" Medal. It is silver in colour.
On obverse, it has a lady holding a child's hand and another child is in the water. The lady is holding a trident.
On the reverse is rather elaborate. It has a naked man with cloth draped around his groin area holding what seems to be a plume or branch in his right hand.

Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteNice big silver medallion.
Good thing about collecting these medallions.
Each one usually has an interesting story to tell.
And some more comes with a big chunk of silver, haha.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Dickson :)
Dear whycollect,
ReplyDeleteGood news!Silver price is still heading north!
At least our Singapore Silver Proof Coins got better bullion price.
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteSing Proof Coins!
Yes, especially those 2 ouncers zodiac series piedfort proofs of the 90's.
They are real solid man, haha.
Hmmm...think about it, maybe having at least two 'wives' in numismatic is not too many.
One in gold and silver, while the other in copper, cupro-nikel, etc.
These two are equally fantastic, haha.
Arg, if only we have unlimited financial resources, haha.
Thanks a lot, Dickson :)
