British India. Bengal Presidency copper "Siege and Capture of Seringapatam" Medal 1799 MS63 Brown NGC (photo-certificate), Soho mint, Pudd-Unl., Eimer-903a. 48mm. By C. H. Küchler. With integral mount and ribbon. A very scarce and beautifully designed medal that by all records seems to rarely be preserved in such exceptional condition as seen here, the exceedingly prooflike glimmer to the fields, accented by fine die polish, seemingly in line with a specimen-quality strike.
From the Hamilton Collection of British India Coins
