Tower Mint 1979 Earl Mountbatten of Burma Commemorative Medal

The Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1900–1979), a distinguished British statesman and naval officer, notably served as the final Viceroy of India. He played a pivotal role in the upbringing of Prince Philip and was a significant influence on King Charles III during his formative years. His life was cut short in a tragic event on August 27, 1979, when he fell victim to an assassination in Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland, amidst the Northern Ireland Troubles. In honor of his remarkable service and historical impact, a commemorative medal has been issued.

While the medal itself is a proof and holds great value, it does present a minor imperfection—a small dent adjacent to the portrait, noticeable under certain lighting conditions. The pricing has been adjusted to account for this flaw, offering a fair reflection of its condition.
