Discovery Centre Posted on 28 Apr 2010 at 10:02 AM GMT+10:00 Hi Glenda. It's very hard for us to identify your medal based on the description. We might have more luck if you could provide us with an image. Please go to our <a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/ask-us-a-question/identifications/">Identification page</a> to submit your image if you would like us to try to identify your medal.

glenda smith Posted on 25 Apr 2010 at 09:37 PM GMT+10:00 I think our metal disc is an old electroplated disc, 160mm wide,with a religeous scene of the last supper in one corner and the pope down the bottom. I think it is made of brass. Central figure is virgin Mary, lots of religeous angels around the edge. Can you tell me how old this might be.Cannot find a registration number. Thank you, Glenda
