Medal Great Britain Sir T S Raffles Founder of Singapore 1819
Singapore was founded in 1819, and Sir T S Raffles looks mighty proud of his work. But this pewter medal is of modern origins (probably around 1980) and, as such, does not carry very much value.
(I've heard of a silver version of this medal. Since it is so large, it contains a lot of silver and that makes it valuable. Just about all of them, or perhaps all of them, are made of pewter.)
