Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), Continental Victories, 1815, a tubular gilt-brass box medal by Thomason & Jones inscribed 'British Victories in the Peninsula', lid inset with portrait medallet of Wellington, containing 24 [of the set of 26] gilt-brass medallets, each with winged Victory, revs. the battle name (lacks Pyrenees and Waterloo, but duplicates of Almeida and Albuhera), each 16mm., tube 36.5 x 19mm. (BHM.888; Eimer, Wellington 84; Eimer 1076), the tube good very fine, the medallets mostly extremely fine
It seems likely that this tube was made and marketed in 1814 and that it never contained the Waterloo medallet.
