MEDAL

Unique ID: LIN-99D7B1

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Notes:

This medal of Charles was evidently personalised by the addition of the engraving on the reverse, which would have been added at the request of a royalist supporter. The coat of arms and the letters BC suggest that that individual may have been called Calvert, as various families of that name have used arms like those shown, usually in gold and black (Information from Mr C. Cheesman, College of Arms).

Class: Civil War
