ОписаниеSmall silver-coloured metal medal, commemorating the opening of the Thames Tunnel in 1843.

Short captions on both sides of the medal provide information on the dimensions and cost of the tunnel, and how long it took to build, as well as on the maker of the medal itself, William Griffin of 25 Change Alley in Cornhill.
