A commemorative medal struck in thanksgiving for the recovery of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, from typhoid in early 1872. As typhoid is the disease that is thought to have killed his father Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales' recovery was not expected. When he did recover, national celebration ensued and the Princes' popularity increased drastically.

The obverse side of the medal displays a bust of Albert Edward and is engraved wtih his name and title.

The reverse side of the medal is engraved with a note of commemoration and The Prince of Wales' heraldic symbol that includes three feathers, a coronet, sprigs of roses, thistles, and shamrocks.
