Description: | The Fitzwilliam Museum collection of medals is essentially one of historical and art medals, rather than military or civil awards and decorations, but it includes school prize medals. The Department of Coins and Medals curates approximately 6,500 medals and plaquettes.
Some groups of medals come from Italian collections and benefactions, although there is also a good showing of early 20th century English military medals after a generous bequest in 1936. | Subjects: | Medals | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01223 332 923 | Telephone: | 01223 332 900 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:8403 | Go to resource |
