Jugate heads of George, Duke of Albany and Princess Helen of Waldeck-Pyrmont right / Trilobe arms of the Preston Merchant Guild. Cf. Brown 3113 for the obverse type; Eimer -.

The obverse of this medal is the same design used for a 64mm medal commemorating the royal marriage. The reverse is unlisted in Brown or Eimer, but Brown 3114 is another medal for the Preston Merchant Guild Fair of 1882, held every twenty years since 1562.
