                        The medal consits of one ounce of pure Welsh gold mined 
                        at Gwynfydd in Meirionethshire. It was designed and created 
                        by the goldsmith Rhiannon of Tregaron. The eisteddfod 
                        has presented three such medals - two from the Clogau 
                        goldmines were presented in 1985 and 1986 to the conductors 
                        of the winning Mixed and Cerdd Dant choirs respectively. 
                        In 1985 the winner was Wil Morus Jones conductor of Cor 
                        Godre'r Garth, and in 1986 the medal went to Alwena Roberts 
                        of Cor Merched y Garth. The prize was discontinued after 
                        1987, so all three medal went to the PONTYPRIDD area.  |
