Whilst recently waiting for a train at Leeds station, I popped into the Tourist Information Office and bought the medal shown in the photograph. It was very reasonably priced at £1. I understand that they were having some kind of a sale as the Tourist Information Office is due to move to new premises in February, 2015.
The medal is crown sized and came encapsulated as shown. The edge is milled and the obverse depicts the Yorkshire rose whilst the reverse includes the Leeds Owl. No further information about the medal appeared to be available at the Tourist Information Office which is a shame as it would be interesting to know if the medal is part of a collection for the Yorkshire cities.
