Overview

A circular medal featuring an image of the Crystal Palace on the obverse. The text 'CRYSTAL PALACE' is visible around the perimeter. The reverse usually features an image of the interior or a historical figure related to the Great Exhibition.

Historical significance

These tokens were produced as souvenirs for the Great Exhibition of 1851 or for visitors to the Crystal Palace after its relocation to Sydenham. The Crystal Palace was a massive glass and iron structure that represented the height of Victorian industrial achievement.

Estimated value

$5.00 - $20.00 USD (Highly dependent on condition; the pictured example exhibits significant corrosion/verdigris which lowers value).

Care & preservation

Store in a dry environment to prevent further corrosion. Do not attempt to clean with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this will damage the soft white metal. Use an airtight container or specialized numismatic holder.
