Description: Lind- Goldschmidt, Johanna Maria (Jenny), Swedish vocalist, 1820 Stockholm - 1887 Malvern, Worcestershire, England Bronze medallion, d.= 22 mm. This token was probably issued for Jenny's tour of America, 1850 – 1852. It shows her year of birth 1821 in contrary to 1820 in the Oxford University Press. Carole Rosen, ‘Lind , Jenny (1820–1887)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 accessed 10 June 2014. This contradiction needs more research to be done. Portrait facing, curved above: "JENNY LIND"/ Lyre between branches, around: "NESCIT OCASUM NATA 1821". Fuld/Rulau Jenn-11 . Medallists: (John) Allen & (Joseph) Moore, 1817 Birmingham - 1901 Birmingham, England. Condition: VERY FINE.
