1847 Commemorative medal marking the death of Daniel O'Connell. One side shows a portrait of O'Connell with the wording "Daniel O'Connell Esq. MP., The Friend of His Country" and the other a gravestone with "D. O'Connell, Born, 6 August 1775, Died, 15 May 1847" above "Catholic Emancipation, Repeal" with a weeping woman 'Hibernia', a symbol of Ireland, along with a harp, a symbol of the Gaelic Ireland that his supporters also mourned. Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847), was seen by most Roman Catholics in Ireland as 'The Liberator' who campaigned for their civil rights. He was elected to parliament but was not allowed to take up his seat because of his religion.
