A group of three late 19th-century commemorative medals. The first is a circular silver-colored medal, likely silver or plated, attached to a bar brooch dated “1893”. Its obverse features a bust of Queen Victoria with rim text “THE QUEEN VICTORIA JUBILEE SCHOOL BOARD 1887 FOR EXCEL”, and its reverse is inscribed “AWARDED FOR REGULAR ATTENDANCE… A.D. 1893”. The second is a bronze-colored cross-shaped medal, likely bronze or copper alloy, suspended from an orange ribbon. Its obverse depicts a bust of a woman (likely Queen Victoria) with Dutch text “PRIJS H.S.B.” (Prize H.S.B.), and its reverse is marked “S-HERTOGENBOSCH” (a Dutch city). The third item is a gold-colored cross, likely brass or gilded, featuring a central medallion with a crown and the visible word “VICTORIA”. Its reverse explicitly states “TO COMMEMORATE THE 60TH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF H.M. QUEEN VICTORIA”.
