Description
This 1928 bronze commemorative medallion was struck by the Royal Mint to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Joseph Fry (1728–1787), the Quaker founder of the iconic J.S. Fry & Sons chocolate company. Designed by sculptor Harold J. Youngman (noted by the "HY" initials), the obverse features a dignified profile of Fry in traditional Quaker attire and a broad-brimmed hat, while the reverse depicts a cocoa tree flourishing atop a globe, symbolizing the company's colonial trade and global reach. Measuring approximately 51mm, these medals were primarily issued to long-serving employees and are most collectible when housed in their original, plush-lined leatherette presentation case, which preserves the deep chocolate-brown patina of the bronze. In very good condition, light nick on the box. See all images.
