British India. Victoria silver Specimen "Calcutta International Exhibition" Award Medal 1884 MS62 NGC, Pudd-883.2.2. 50.5mm. A beautifully toned example of this unawarded medal with profuse sky blues along the rim that bleed into magenta and then to gold. Only the mirror-like fields inhibit the floods of color from impinging on Victoria's lightly-textured, cloth-like bust, though sprays of golden lightly gilt her crown.
