BOMBAY. Medal for the Royal Visit of H.R.H the Prince of Wales 1921

The oval bronze medal has a suspension ring suggesting it was probably originally intended to be hung from a cord rather than a ribbon but there is no certainty. The obverse of the 38 x 30mm medal has a right facing portrait surrounded by the wording EDWARD PRINCE OF WALES and the reverse has the raised wording VISIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS BOMBAY NOVEMBER 1921. There seems to be no certainty about how or to whom this medal was issued, presumably by the City of Bombay, where the Prince arrived for his visit to India. apr14/3
