Metal
1839
This medal was issued by the Wesleyan Methodist Church on Oct. 25th, 1839 to celebrate the centenary of its Foundation. Remarkably, the medal lists precise membership numbers for Britain and the Americas at the time, including 389,853 itinerant preachers in the United Kingdom alone - a very large number.
The top of the medal is drilled, presumably to attach a ribbon.
