We have the rare version, the Bramley Moore medal of the Liverpool Shipwreck an Humane Society medal issued to the father and the ultra rare Maharajah of Burdwan medal issued to the daughter.

In fact the Maharajah medal was commissioned by the Maharajah himself upon his reading of the rescue in the Times Newspaper.

he Maharajah of Burdwan Medal is a rare and fascinating piece of Indian history. It was instituted by the Maharajah of Burdwan, a prominent princely state during British India, as a way to recognize loyalty and service within the state or, in some cases, to honor British officials and Indian elites.

The medal is distinctive in its design, often featuring inscriptions in both English and regional Indian scripts, with detailed engravings that reflect the cultural significance of the Burdwan region. It may have the Maharajah’s profile or the state’s emblem on it, symbolizing power and leadership during the time of the British Raj.

Owning a Maharajah of Burdwan medal isn’t just about collecting a rare item; it’s about holding a piece of colonial history intertwined with the legacy of India’s princely states. This medal reflects the blend of Indian royalty and British influence, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors interested in both Indian and colonial medals.

This would be a gem in any collection, linking the stories of Indian rulers with the broader historical context of British India.
