Edwin Chadwick, University College, London, Chadwick prize medal in silver, bust three-quarters left, reverse engraved inscription to George Eric Rowland Slade for excellence in Municipal Engineering and Hygiene, 1907-1908, 38mm. Some surface marks and scuffing, otherwise good very fine ((£25-30)

Not in BHM, presumably on account of its private character; nor listed in MJP which notes and illustrates several prize medals of University College, London. The style and size suggest the medal may have been made in Birmingham. The prize was probably awarded annually and should be considered rare.
