| Reverse description | The central field displays two heraldic shields of arms — likely those of Birmingham and another civic authority — crossed and set upon a laurel branch in relief. Below the shields, the venue name BINGLEY HALL is struck in raised letters, followed by AWARDED TO and the engraved recipient name. The surrounding legend reads BIRMINGHAM INDUSTRIAL POLYTECHNIC EXHIBITION around the upper border and 1901 along the lower border. |
