but I can't seem to be able to find any search results from their collection.
Do we know of anyone who has actually sighted it and can confirm its whereabouts?
interesting write up here of how if found its way to the museum.

The museums seem to have changed their names recently - I've tried one of them this morning and will cast the net wider if my first choice can't help. I've got an original newspaper clipping from 1975 showing Dr Stuart Park holding the gold medal shortly after the museum secured it at auction. Apparently it was passed in at $1100 and the museum secured it subsequently for $1500.
