1836
A medal commemorating the ninety-third Methodist Conference in 1836. The Conference was held in Birmingham that year, the first time it had taken place there, and the President of Conference that year was Jabez Bunting (1779-1858). The reverse features a bust of John Wesley, name and dates; this was standard for official Methodist commemorative medals of this period. The top of the medal has been drilled, presumably to take a ribbon.
See also 2006/10350 in the Online Collection, the Conference Medal issued the following year, in 1837.
