King’s African Rifles Distinguished Conduct Medal, G.V.R., crowned head issue, unnamed, stamped ‘Specimen’ in small letters on the edge, extremely fine, rare £350-400

According to British Gallantry Awards by Abbott & Tamplin, ‘George V “crowned head” issues for the K.A.R. and R.W.A.F.F. were struck in 1930, apparently as specimens, since no awards were made during the currency of this type of obverse.’
