Summary

"A Guide to the Exhibition of English Medals" by Herbert A. Grueber is a journey through three centuries of English history told through the commemorative medals displayed at the British Museum. The book explains the historical importance of each medal rather than focusing on artistic flair. The guide presents information about important people and events and explains the reasoning behind the collection and arrangement of the medals. It carefully organizes the medals chronologically, noting dimensions, materials, and production methods of each medal.
