On offer is a rare Victorian sterling silver Counties Athletic Association medal dating from 1892. Founded in 1879, the Counties Athletic Association played an important role in the development of organised athletics in Britain, making surviving medals from its early competitions increasingly desirable. This impressive example was awarded for the 100 Yards Race Second Prize and is engraved to H. G. Steavenson. The obverse displays finely detailed heraldic shields surrounded by decorative foliate ornamentation, showcasing the high standard of Victorian medal engraving.

The medal weighs approximately 51.1 grams, giving it an impressive and substantial feel. It remains in good antique condition with sharp relief and crisp engraving throughout. Minor rim dents are present and the original suspension loop is no longer fitted, both noted for accuracy. A scarce and historically important piece of British athletics memorabilia that would make an excellent addition to any sporting or medal collection.
