Bronzed white metal. Diameter 44.5 mm. Mass 41.4 gm.

The Keying was a three-masted, 800-ton Foochow Chinese trading junk which sailed from China around the Cape of Good Hope to the United States and Britain between 1846 and 1848.

I am unable to find any connection between the Keying and Baron de Stassart.
