A charming 3-piece set, struck in pewter, 50mm in diameter, produced by "I. Ottley, Medallist, Birmingham" as so indicated on one of the pieces, all housed in a striking contemporary red leather folding case (which is showing its age).
Included are a lovely World Map Medal with the hemispheres completely covering the obverse and reverse, a "Miles Distant from London" Medal (indicating that Falmouth is 269 miles away, for example), and a "Chronology of the Reigns of England" medal, on which the current King is listed as George IV (who ruled from 1820 to 1830) thus dating this medal (and this set) to sometime during that decade.
Quite an interesting and attractive set overall, the likes of which we have not seen before.
