MILITARY MEDALS. Campaign Singles. ARMY OF INDIA MEDAL, 1799-1826, single clasp, Nagpore (Vellien 26th Native Infy); officially impressed, but with only one name given. Obverse unevenly toned and roughly polished with one or two very light marks, otherwise good very fine, reverse somewhat better, and very rare. Worthy of further research.
ex B A Seaby Ltd, sold with branded plastic medal holder
The name 'Vellien' is not present on the Army of India medal roll, however the impressed naming is absolutely correct. Only 155 medals bearing this clasp are believed to have been issued.

Estimate: £800-1000
