Watch List notes:

*India, Opening of the Bombay Mint, 1828, bronze medal, lion and palm tree design after Flaxman, rev., seven line inscription within laurel wreath, 63.5mm (Pudd. 828.1 where only recorded in silver), a few minor marks but virtually as struck and extremely rare, unrecorded in bronze, with the original bronzed-tin shells of issue (these somewhat battered). Puddester only recorded the medal in silver and rated its rarity in that metal as "less than a dozen specimens known". The present medal, unrecorded in bronze, may be a trial striking. A silver medal was included in the St. James auction 20, 18 November 2011, lot 567.

Estimate: £1,800 - 2200
