A Teeny Tiny Medal - Objectivity 286
A tiny medal commemorating the Grand Old Duke of York. More links below ↓↓↓
The Duke of York (Prince Frederick) is commemorated by a column adjacent to the Royal Society. But we're looking at a small medal from the collection of Sir John Herschel - it's origin is mysterious.
Featuring Keith Moore (head librarian at the Royal Society) speaking with Brady.
