30mm. Bronze. Unsigned.
Obverse with coat of arms, reverse reads 'British Seamanship and Captain H.C. Kane of HMS Calliope from an admirer The Marquis De Leuville'.
Very Fine and rare.
Captain Kane took his ship out to sea in safety when the vessels of other nations were wrecked in a Hurricane at Apia, Samoa, quoted as "one of the most famous episodes of seamanship of the 19th century".
