Irish 1914 Silver. Gold Medal Irish 1914 Silver. Gold Medal Memorabilia

Design Features

The central harp is likely made of real 9ct or 12ct gold (common for high-end fobs of this era),
​Central Motif: A raised golden-colored Irish Harp (the Brian Boru harp), which is the national symbol of Ireland.
​Background: The harp is set against a Celtic Cross design, with four arms containing Triquetra (Trinity) knots.
​Sunburst: Behind the cross is a sunburst or star-like pattern, common in traditional Irish medal designs.

​The back of the piece contains four distinct marks that provide its "DNA":
​L. BROS: This is the maker's mark for Lee Brothers, a well-known firm of manufacturing jewellers and silversmiths active in the early 1900s.
​The Lion Passant (far left): This indicates the piece is made of Sterling Silver (.925 purity).
​The Anchor (middle): This is the town mark for Birmingham, England, a major hub for silver production where many Irish-themed pieces were assayed.
​The Letter "P" (far right): This is the date letter. Based on the style of the shield and the typeface, this likely corresponds to the year 1914.
