Medal
On one side of this silver medal is the City of London arms with the City motto and the name Moses da Costa Lindo, and on the reverse are the Royal Arms. These medals were worn by sworn brokers on the Royal Exchange, of whom Moses Lindo was one. He was descended from one of the founding families of the London Sephardi Jewish community. Members of the Lindo family were brokers continuously from the 17th to the 19th centuries and there are five similar medals issued to them by the City of London in the Museum's collection.
