Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), Continental Victories, 1815, a tubular bronze box medal by Thomason & Jones inscribed 'British Victories', lid inset with portrait medallet of Wellington, containing 25 [of the set of 26] gilt-brass medallets, including Waterloo, each with winged Victory, revs. the battle name (lacks only Ciudad Rodrigo), Waterloo, and with duplicates (5) of Albuhera, Castalla, St. Sebastian, Biddassoa and Toulouse, each 16mm., tube 46 x 19mm. (BHM.888; Eimer, Wellington 84; Eimer 1076), the tube very fine, the medallets mostly extremely fine
It seems likely that this tube was made and marketed in 1815 and that the Waterloo medallet, which differs slightly in style, was hastily added.
