1843 Scinde Meeanee/Hyderabad medal. Gilt silver, 36 mm. MY-111, BBM-64.

35.65 gms. Housed in a ring bezel and glazed encasement. Mint State. Unnamed. An attractive and very scarce specimen striking, undoubtedly once cased for presentation (like the set of four medals presented to the Duke of Wellington, offered in this collection). Even frosty yellow gold surfaces exhibit a matte or granular finish. The glass is missing from the obverse of the cased enclosure.
