NEW ZEALAND MEDAL 1846-1866. Unnamed. Extremely fine, possibly unique.

Ex Oldham (Auckland) 1996. The date 1846-66 is not known to have been issued. It is known that just one medal (dated 1846-65) with reverse dates spanning both wars was issued (this was to a Col McGregor of the 65th Regt and is now in the Napier Museum). This medal was probably made as an example by the Royal Mint, perhaps for issue, but was never used given that the dates shown were never claimed. It is possible the medal was struck to test the reverse dies for the medal and was not intended to have survived. The medal is considered unique.
