Singapore, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore, 1819, pewter medal, unsigned, perhaps struck on the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the city in 1919, 70mm (BHM — ). Extremely fine, very rare (£60-80)

BHM only records one medal on the Centenary of Singapore (BHM 4152), this unpublished medal is unquestionably rare.
