Dated on the reverse 1937-38 this tested sterling medallion was given as a shooting prize, it is engraved with 'HKRA Belilios shield 1937-38'. The Belilios name is still attached to a public school in Hong Kong. It is 36mm in diameter. Not sure if the marking on the rim is a hallmark stamp or not. The silver is dark toned but it comes in good overall condition. Emanuel Raphael Belilios, CMG, JP (14 November 1837 – 11 November 1905) was a banker, opium dealer, philanthropist, and businessman, born in Calcutta, British India and active in Hong Kong. His father, Raphael Emanuel Belilios, was a member of a Jewish Venetian family. Belilios married Simha Ezra in 1855, and in 1862 he settled in Hong Kong and engaged in trade. His success saw him described in the British press at the time as 'one of the merchant princes of the colony.' J27.7
