An early cast with a small fault on the reverse, good very fine and rare £400-£500 --- George Monck (1608-70) was governor of Dublin under Charles I and represented the Royalist cause in Ireland but was captured in 1644 and imprisoned. After his release in 1646 he joined the Parliamentarians and became military commander in Ireland and Scotland, being present at Dunbar with Cromwell. Following the fall of Richard Cromwell, Monck broke with the new military government established in 1659 and led his troops south from the Scottish border early in 1660 to restore a free Parliament and to negotiate the return of Charles II from France. For these services Monck was awarded the title Duke of Albemarle and was made a Knight of the Garter. Although unsigned, this medal is definitely by Simon (others with the TS signature read differently).
