| This medal is indicative of the unpopularity of the Duke of Wellington
who, as Prime Minister, refused to sanction Parlimentary Reform. He was
forced to resign and Grey succeeded him in 1830. See also note to
No. 508. |

| This may be a variant of 1442 or actually be 1443. No. 1443 has the traditional
spelling of "TRUE", as does this example. But the description
of the obverse says "Draped bust of Earl Grey, bare head, facing".
This head does not appear draped and 'facing' implies three-quarter or full
face. |
