Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Image of the obverse and reverse faces of the Ceylon Police Independence Medal awarded by the Ceylon Police in 1948
Author or copyright owner	La Galerie Numismatique
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Unknown Immediate source: https://p1.liveauctioneers.com/856/101908/52048376_1_x.jpg?version=1490645079&width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Ceylon Police Independence Medal
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The image will serve as the primary means of identification of the medal in the infobox of the page discussing the award
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The item is an old award of Ceylon, and is a rare collector's item; no free images exist currently. It is unlikely that the probability of being able to get a free equivalent will increase as time goes on.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	One use only: the article discussing the award
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	This medal was created by the British Crown as part of their military awards system. There is no commercial benefit from the use of the image. The image itself was created by an auction website, which sells the original medal, not the image; as such, use of the image alone does not infringe upon their commercial rights and opportunities
