FOURTH ISSUE: Of convex shape. Early examples are only slightly convex but medallions numbered above 100,000 are more markedly so. In the legend the word ‘THE’ appears before the words ‘ST. JOHN’. The animals in the angles of the cross are of a smaller size; although this later tended to vary when new dies were cut. The surface of the centre is crosshatched. Overall diameter is slightly larger at between 3.7cm and 4cm. No date can be assigned to this variation, but it appears to have been before 1909 and there may have been some overlap between this issue and the previous one as the highest number of the third issue in the collection is 25,095 and the lowest number of the fourth issue recorded is 18,993. Those numbered in the 100,000s and the 300,000s are generally marked on AT ST. JOHN’S GATE CLERKENWELL’. The highest medallion number in the collection is 366,022. The numbering system was changed, possibly around 1942, to include a prefix letter ‘A’. Two of these in the collection are marked registered at London rather than Clerkenwell. The issue of the medallion finally ceased in 1992. the reverse ‘REGISTERED

purchased by the recipient. The standard issue was bronze but the recipient could opt for silver or gold according to choice and means. Bronze specimens also exist which have been privately silvered or gold plated by the owner. Later issues were in base metal chromium plated and this type can be found hanging from a small rectangular chrome broach decorated with St. John’s wort. It is believed that this type was issued after 1962 when the issue of labels ceased. From 1914 each type was also made available in miniature. In 1905 the cost of each version was:
Bronze 2/- (10p) Silver 7/6 (37½p) 18ct. Gold 50/- (£2.50)
Prices included the cost of engraving the name and registered number on the reverse and cases could be had for an additional 2/- (10p) each. At a time when the weekly wage of an ordinary working man was between 30/- (£1.50) and £2, it would take a considerable sacrifice to obtain this symbol of competency to render First Aid to a fellow human being in distress. It is a tribute to their pride in obtaining the qualification that so many ordinary men and women made that sacrifice.
