- Medallic Illustrations 1, published in 1885, states:
Very rare.
The head on this medal and two others (Medallic Illustrations 1, published in 1885, states: p309.137 and p310.138) is from the same model. In this version the body has been extended to the waist, and the plain collar changed to a lace one. All were probably military rewards.
