1979 Carlton Premiership Medal, front design of a footballer by Andor Meszaros (1900-72), reverse engraved 'Presented by the Victorian Football League To A. Jesaulenko, Coach'. Together with perspex display stand engraved 'A.Jesaulenko (Coach)'. Alex Jesaulenko's 'Coach' Medal, representing perhaps his finest moment in football. 'Jezza' was in fact the last playing coach in the VFL/AFL to lead his team to a premiership. The Grand Final was only the second game all year in which Carlton did not get to 100 points. It was the fifth Grand Final between Collingwood and Carlton; and Carlton's fourth of 5 consecutive Grand Final wins - to this day - over Collingwood. Carlton President, George Harris remarked during the post-match celebrations, that the only thing better than beating Collingwood by 10 goals was beating them by 5 points!

- Victorian Period - The Victorian period of furniture and decorative arts design covers the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901. There was not one dominant style of furniture in the Victorian period. Designers used and modified many historical styles such as Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, English Rococo, Neoclassical and others, although use of some styles, such as English Rococo and Gothic tended to dominate the furniture manufacture of the period.
The Victorian period was preceded by the Regency and William IV periods, and followed by the Edwardian period, named for Edward VII (1841 ? 1910) who was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India for the brief period from 1901 until his death in 1910.
