Medal of National Thanksgiving for the Recovery of the Prince of Wales from Typhoid, February 1872, silver, 39mm x 17mm, very fine and rare

In December 1871, H.R.H. The Prince of Wales, then aged 30, became gravely ill with typhoid and for some weeks lay close to death at Sandringham. Eventually, however, he recovered, and a Service of National Thanksgiving for his recovery was held on 27 February 1872. This Medal commemorating the event was struck and distributed to celebrate this recovery.
