Agricultural Societies are scattered all over the British Isles and their prize medals are great fun to collect. Many of these Societies were supported by affluent farmers and could afford to give high quality medals as prizes. The scenes on the obverse as well as the types of prizes given throw an interesting light on rural Britain.
