This little medal commemorates the Royal Navy's campaign in the Baltic against the Russian fleet, 1854-55. It is named to Hawkesworth Fawkes RN, who was on the active list in March 1875 as a Captain (as of 22.10.70). Sadly, it is only a disc, hence the price.
This example is named directly on the edge of the medal, unlike the Crimean example on the site.
The condition is GVF. (NB: The gold colour of the last photos showing the naming is because of using an indoor lighting system.)
