There is no indication as to where or why this beautiful medal was struck. However it is the same size as the rare 1840 Indian Chief medal, a medal that was adapted, by the addition of his Plumes and date engraved in the obverse field, for presentation by the Prince of Wales on his Royal Tour of Canada in 1860.
