- The Sydney Academy was established at Parramatta in 1813 by Isaac Woods a transported felon. After its initial success the school moved first to Pitt Street in Sydney in 1815 before moving to a larger premises in Phillip Street in 1816. The Academy eventually became too small for its students and was moved to 'spacious schoolhouse in Macquarie St. contiguous to the government domain'. On Wood's death the Academy was run by William Cape and there are some links to Sydney Grammar School, Australia's longest running school. Although the work on the medal is unattributed, a comparison with the Halloran School Medals would indicate that it was engraved by Samuel Clayton. It is pre-dated by only two of the Halloran medals and is one of the earliest surviving examples of Australian silversmithing and a very important piece of Australiana.
