I think you are mistaken; it is the Victoria Cross that was made from
the canon captured at Sebastipol. I remember seeing the remainder of
this metal on "Blue Peter" many years ago. It is very likely indeed
that this metal has been used up and that another source has been
found for the metal needed for the medals
