Notes | This calendar medal for 1799 was designed to be carried in the pocket or purse and is a kind of forerunner of the modern pocket diary. The obverse gives the date of every Sunday in the year,
plus some key dates from the Christian calendar. On the reverse are the dates of the new and full moons, the law terms and certain important anniversaries.
