- This brass alloy medallion is dull, golden brown in colour, and is adorned with a crown, a field
piece, a lion, a unicorn, and the words "QUO FAS ET CLOKIA DUCUNT". In the top of the
artifact there is a metal cylinder (which was probably used to hold a plume inside) and a hook
(which held both to the cap). This artifact was most likely used by an artillery regiment because
of the cannon in the foreground. The medallion dates back to the 1810s and might have been
used by a soldier during the war of 1812. It was found during the 1969 Fort Frederick dig.
- This heavy bronze medallion is still partly a mystery. It was perhaps used to hold something, or
maybe as a decoration. It has a solid metal ball at one end, with a tube in the middle and a partly
squashed leaf-shaped on the other. It came from the 1812 period, and was found at a Fort
Frontenac dig in 1969.
- This medal artifact is dark to light grey in colour, and is very fragile. It is very similar to the
"Grenadier Cabage" which were given to the Grenadier Guards for their part in the Battle of
Waterloo. It was probably worn somewhere in the early 19th century. The Cabage was discovered
in a dig at Fort Frederick in 1969.
