The first hundred years of Wesleyan Methodism were celebrated with the creation of a great hall for meetings and prayer in Bishopsgate. It became known as the 'Centenary Hall' and is depicted on this medal. Like many early Methodist medals, the reverse depicts John Wesley, founder of (Wesleyan) Methodism.
