A rare Victorian commemorative medal of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's visit to the Channel Island of Jersey in 1846 to open the new harbor. This example has the edge engraved as follows: "T.Le G." & "2e Visite de la Reine 13 Aout 1859". The engraving indicates the medallion was re-issued for Victoria's 2nd visit in August 1859. Le Gallais was the local jeweler who had the medals struck. John Le Gallais was a goldsmith, jeweller, watch and clockmaker of Broad Street, St Helier, Jersey. Initially he was in partnership with Thomas de Gruchy, but in 1846, the year of the visit, he acquired the whole business on de Gruchy's death. The Jerripedia website, in their "Biographies of silver makers", records that "his best-known product is a medallion struck to commemorate the royal visit of 1846". |
