Comment
Mudie No.13
James Mudie commissioned forty medals to be produced by the leading medallists in Britain and other European Countries. The resultant output was forty medals, each 41mm in diameter, struck at Thomasons factory in Birmingham. Additionally, the Nelson medal was produced in two formats, the uniformed variant being included in the cased sets and a further medal for the Victories in India, 1819, was produced for Mudie but not included. A number of variants exist, due to the medals being produced from a number of dies and a mule of Nelson and Wellington has been noted. The latter being of great interest to those interested in the personalities rather than the events.
