In the fall of 2019 the Windsor Mint, a private United Kingdom organization, released a gold plated copper medal honoring Sherlock Holmes.

The obverse of the medal closely resembles the cover drawn by Frederic Dorr Steele for September 24,1904 issue of Collier’s that contained The Adventure of the Three Students.

The medal retails for £10 at the Windsor Mint’s website, but if you scan their site, there are ways to save £5. Now, the bad news. They do not ship to North America.
