Comment
Bramsen# 1691; Mudie No.37Medal depicting the departure of Napoleon to take him into exile at the island of St. Helena.
Part of the medal series on the British victories from 1820, curated by Mudie.
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.
