Orders, Medals and Decorations, Single Campaign Medals, Burma Medal 1824-26, silver, planchet only, unnamed as issued, very lightly toned, one or two edge knocks otherwise very fine
The Burma Medal 1824-26 was instituted by the Honourable East India Company in 1826 in silver, silver gilt and gold. A good example of this rare and expensive medal.
(1826)
Ex-Rare.
A very seldom seen award from the reign of George IV.
Un-named as issued. Granted to native officers and men who participated in the campaign for the subjugation of Burma. This was the 1st of the H.E.I.C. campaign medals in what was to become a standard 1.5 inch (38mm) diameter. The medal was fitted with a large steel clip and ring for suspension (just like the Waterloo Medal). British troops in this campaign were (belatedly) awarded the "AVA" clasp to the Army of India Medal.
A VERY RARE MEDAL..We've had just 2 in over 30 years !
