CARPATHIA and TITANIC MEDAL.
GOLD
This tragic disaster happend when the TITANIC struck an iceberg and sank, 1490 people perished, 711 where rescued by R.M.S. CARPATHIA.
Her crew where issued these medals for their gallant and heroic services.
Depending on rank, they where issued either gold, silver or bronze. I have the silver and bronze versions on another listings.
A very accurate full size, double sided showcase replica with 22ct gold plated finish.
Originals where issued in 1912 and now attract around £8,000 + each but are rarely offered for sale.
