Watch List notes:

International Exhibition Sydney, 1879, appears to be an unofficial, uniface and engraved medal in gilt silver (51mm), obverse inscribed, 'R.Harvey./International Exhibition./Sydney./1879.'. Toned, most gilt on obverse missing, heavily toned, otherwise very fine and a rare issue.

Robert Harvey of Parramatta, NSW was awarded a medal at the exhibition for a model of a frigate exhibited under Classes 577-585 - Aerial Pneumatic and Water Transportation for his model of a gun frigate 'Niagara'. It was reported as 'Highly commended, exceptionally ingenious, nearly all the details of a ship of war worked out with great care, but not made to scale and model of hull not good'.
