Additions to your Exonumia collection - June 2026

After the warmest May on record here in the UK, I wonder what June will bring.  Maybe some more good weather and hopefully plenty of new Exonumia.  Good luck everyone ☺ 

 One recent addition 

‘Medal, for peace Amiens 1802 Marquis Cornwallis - Britannia holding plaque. 20.60g’ 

[MARQUIS CORNWALLIS // POST NUBILA PHOEBUS] 

N#406729 

· Footnote 
The Treaty of Amiens, signed on 25 March 1802 by Joseph Bonaparte (1768-1844), 

elder brother of Napoléon, and Marquis Cornwallis, temporarily ended hostilities 

between France, Spain and the United Kingdom. However, the consequent peace only 

lasted for just over a year as Britain, increasingly angered by Napoleon's subsequent 

re-ordering of the international system in Western Europe, declared war on France in May 1803. 

So far June has been very damp, and the midgies have arrived! Hey-ho!

Got this one recently, St. Ives Tercentenary of Incorporation in 1939, now added: N#582092

Maybe nothing special but a year when not many medals were issued (this is only the third I have for UK in 1939). Kind of chilling to think of their celebrations knowing what was coming…
