An extremely interesting and rare commemorative medal from 1893, originating from the charitable organization Mission Trust for Girls and Boys of the East Lancashire province in England. It is a badge for stewards – individuals responsible for organizing and supervising the foundation's activities. Technical description:

• Oval heraldic medallion with delicate execution in gilded brass technique
• Blue enameled border with a circumferential inscription
• Center: gold bas-relief of Britannia or an allegorical female figure between columns (symbol of security and knowledge)
• Sun rays surrounding the figure – symbol of enlightenment and hope
• Blue grosgrain ribbon with a green stripe in the middle (traditional charitable colors)

Historical significance: The medal comes from the period of high Victorian charitable activity. Foundations dealing with the education of girls and boys from poorer strata of society were then a key social institution. Stewards held a prestigious role in promoting the ideals of education and charity. An excellent specimen for collectors of Victorian badges, charity medals, and those interested in the social history of 19th-century England.
