Distinctions There are about 40 varieties with a half-length Vernon as the main obverse design. Of those, about 17 are small round medals near the 26mm size of this one. Seven of those 17 have "THE BRITISH GLORY REVIVED..." legend. Three of those (including this one) have Vernon's finger pointing at "BR". Of the two varieties very similar to this one, one has the obverse "D"'s reversed and has the spires or steeples on the reverse at "BE", right of second "L" and at "W". The other has an identical obverse, but the spires or steeples are at "LL", at the stop right of "O" and a thrid spire left of "T".
