2. Combine 2 tablespoons fennel seeds, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat.
3. Toast, tossing frequently, until light brown and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
4. Remove from heat and let cool completely before grinding.
5. Grind the toasted seeds with 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a blender until a fine powder is formed.
6. Store the spice rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or freeze for later use.
7. **Assemble the Skewers:**
8. Rub both sides of each pork medallion generously with the fennel spice rub.
9. Wrap each medallion with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing it with a skewer through the center.

11. **Grill the Skewers:**
12. Preheat your grill to high heat.
13. Place skewers on the preheated grill.
14. Grill for 4 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
15. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
