IRELAND. A RARE MINIATURE 1916 MEDAL, WITH ITS ORIGINAL RIBBON AND TOP BROOCH SUSPENDER (unnamed, as issued). Extremely Fine and virtually as struck.
Note: this is a miniature version of the 1916 Medal, identical in every respect to the full size award. Miniature examples are far rarer than the full size examples and are seldom offered for sale.
Another example of the miniature 1916 Medal was sold in Dublin at Whyte's auction on 16/4/2011, lot 242. That example realised approx. ¬1,800 (hammer price of ¬1450 plus auctioneer's fees etc).
NOTE: THIS IS A MINIATURE MEDAL
