These are scarce British trade / guild award medals issued by the Devon Federation of Master Bakers’ Associations and Allied Trades. They were presented for excellence in baking competitions or service. This example is particularly nice with strong strike, original luster, and vibrant enamel.
Perfect for collectors of British silver medals, guild/trade medals, or baking/bakery history memorabilia. High grade NGC slabbed examples like this are tough to find.
