Medal commemorating the siege of Derry, 1688. Obverse: Bust of George Walker in a long wig (three-quarter left). Legend: 'GEORGE WALKER, DEFENDER OF DERRY 1688'. Reverse: Through the portcullis of a castle (right), Union Jack flying, a sortie driving back the besiegers, two ships in the distance. Legend: 'NO SURRENDER'. Exergue: 'APPRENTICE BOYS OF DERRY CLUB FOUNDED 1814'. Fitted with a ring.
In addition to commemorating the siege of Londonderry, the medal also celebrates the opening of the Apprentice Boys of Derry Club in 1814. The observse shows the Reverand George Walker, who was the governor of Londonderry during the siege of 1689. The reverse appears to depict the apprentice boys shutting the city's Ferryquay gate and the relief ships Mountjoy and Phoenix in the background. A decanter was also produced at the same time and etched with the same image as the medal, engraved by William Mossop. [information supplied by Mr McKittrick, 4 April 2016].
