DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has since its inception in 1824 awarded medals for gallantry to its volunteers for particular deeds of merit in rescues. The medals are awarded in bronze, silver or gold and given very sparingly, so that to receive one is the mark of a genuinely impressive action. The medal was created in 1824, but the piece here is an update by Bertram MacKennal of the original piece by William Wyon, to take account of the succession of George V; the Museum also has an earlier update by Leonard C. Wyon from the reign of Victoria.
