The Burmah Medal (1852–55), granted by the government of India, and now generally known as the Indian Medal

This bronze medal, just under an inch and a half in diameter, commemorates the Second Anglo-Burmese War. One side features a striking profile portrait of Queen Victoria, her hair neatly styled and a regal expression on her face. Her image is framed by text that identifies her as "VICTORIA REGINA." The reverse side shows a dynamic scene: a victorious British soldier stands in the foreground, his rifle resting beside him, while a Burmese warrior lies defeated at his feet. In the background, an elephant, a symbol of Burma, stands amidst palm trees, suggesting the tropical setting of the conflict. This medal, designed by William Wyon, served as an official recognition for those who participated in the campaign, a tangible mark of service and imperial power.
