I knew about the Dead Man's Penny which was issued after the First World War to the next-of-kin of all British Empire service personnel who were killed as a result of the war.
I had never sighted one until we visited a museum in a country town today.
This image shows two of these medallions in the Museum collection one of which had been encased in a wooden frame. I was surprised to see how large they are.
Lest We Forget
