PENRITH, Emu & Nepean Agricultural Association, president's medal, Established 1846, in silver (42mm), handcrafted, inscribed to, 'J.Perry/President'. Pierced hole at top edge, obverse scuffing, otherwise very fine and rare.

The maiden show of the Association, a Cattle Show and Ploughing Match, was held on Wednesday 25 February 1846 on some land adjoining Regent Ville estate about one mile from Penrith. It was attended by about 1,500 people. Subsequently, on 14 March 1846, a meeting of members from Penrith Agricultural Society and Penrith, Emu & Nepean Agricultural Society was held at Rose Inn, now the Ambermere Rose Inn at Hartley, where a proposal was put and carried that the two associations merge and form a new society to be called West Cumberland Agricultural Society.
