To commemorate 25 Years in the numismatic business, and 10 Years working for myself I have issued the medal pictured above. The harpist was designed by renowned English medallist Joseph Moore, originally appearing on Welsh eisteddfod medals of the 1860s; I’ve adopted it as my logo. This and the Welsh language legend are a nod to my personal interest in Welsh medals as well as being a jocular reference to the medal’s metal content (it is a gilded zinc-based alloy). The diameter is 50mm. This medal has now been published in Paul & Bente Withers’s reference book “The Token Book, vol.3: Tickets & Passes and their values” (2016), ref.no.3059 (page 412) To order: The medal will be given free to those who order another stock medal from this website (one Riley medal per customer), or you can buy the Riley medal on its own – In the UK: £7 per medal, including recorded delivery postage.

In my opinion it appears much better in the flesh!
