Notes
The abbreviation "S. E." in the name "S. E. Boghos Pasha Nubar" likely stands for "Son Excellence," which is French for "His Excellency." This is a formal title often used to address or refer to high-ranking officials, dignitaries, or persons of note. In the context of the medal and the exposition, it signifies the high regard and respect accorded to Boghos Pasha Nubar, who was a significant figure in both Armenian and Egyptian societies. The title adds an extra layer of formality and honor to the award.
Boghos Nubar Pasha, a distinguished Armenian-Egyptian statesman and son of Egypt's first Prime Minister, Nubar Pasha, was honored with this esteemed silver medal at the 1909 Agricultural Exposition in Egypt. Serving as the chairman of the Armenian National Assembly, Boghos followed in his father's footsteps, actively participating in the agricultural sector and raising cattle for exhibitions. This particular medal was awarded to him for his outstanding achievements in raising two bulls. Intriguingly, this accolade mirrors a similar honor bestowed upon his father a decade earlier, just before his passing.
