History


The British-Bahawalpur Alliance Centenary 1833-1933 Medal was formed to celebrate 100 years of British-Bahawalpur alliance.

The obverse features an Urdu inscription which translates to "By the Grace of God Sadiq Mohammed Abbasi V Ruler of God Gifted Kingdom of Bahawalpur." The reverse features both an English and an Urdu inscription. The Urdu inscription translates to "Hundred Year Union Britain and Bahawalpur."

There is known to be multiple versions of the Silver Medal which vary by composition. The award may also have been awarded in a Gold and Silver grade, with the first class (Gold Medal) being composed of war material gilt. However, subsequent research is necessary to verify.
