Birmingham & Wolverhampton

Click on the stock number on the left to bring up a detailed description and larger pictures

Birmingham and its northwestern neighbour, Wolverhampton, are in the West Midlands region of England. Birmingham in particular was at the forefront of the industrial revolution, and James Brindley ensured it was at the heart of England's commerce by developing a massive canal system. It is also where Matthew Boulton established his Soho coining mint. Most, but not all, of these medals have an architectural flavour.
