Presented as First Prize in the Amateur Swimming Race, the medal is engraved with the winner’s name H. G. Steavenson. Sporting medals from the Victorian period are highly collectable, reflecting the growing popularity of organised competitive events during the late 19th century. This attractive example features finely engraved lettering within an elegant beaded border and decorative suspension mount.

Although unhallmarked, the medal has been tested as sterling silver and weighs approximately 20.8 grams.
