Photographer's Note
Thomas Cochrane (1775-1860) was a noble who fought in the navy against Napoleon, was elected member of parliament and expelled because corruption. After that he accepted to command the new navy of Chile and put Peru free. But he had troubles with the "friends" and accepted the invitation of the first emperor of Brazil, Pedro I, to be the leader of the Brazilian navy, putting Portuguese navy out. He tried to help Greece to get its independence but he failed. He came back to UK and the kind gave him the pardon.
Here we have two medals that were gave by Brazilian Emperor Pedro I to Cochrane, it is the highest of Brazil, Order of Southern-Cross. Here, National Museum Scotland.

Thomas Cochrane (1775-1860) Nasceu numa família nobre da Escócia, entrou na marinha e se destacou nas guerras contra Napoleão. Foi eleito para o parlamento, mas acabou preso por corrupção. Saindo de lá foi chamado pelo novo presidente do Chile para comandar a recém fundada marinha chilena e com sua ajuda colaborou com a independência do Peru. Brigou depois com os líderes da região e aceitou o convite de Pedro I para comandar a nova marinha do Brasil. Ele expulsou os portugueses da costa e depois foi trabalhar para libertar a Grécia, mas fracassou. Voltou depois ao Reino Unido onde o rei o havia perdoado.
Essas medalhas que vemos aqui foram doadas a ele por Pedro I, são a Ordem do Cruzeiro, a mais altar condecoração do Brasil. Podem vê-las agora no Museu Nacional da Escócia.

Bonjour, cher Jorge,
Ces médailles désignent une très haute distinction (un peu à l'instar de la légion d'honneur en France);
La beauté des objets est manifeste.
Amitiés.

Ola Jorge,
the two Brazilian metals in the honour of Cochrane are well presented with the name of him to not be so good in Greece.
I like the clarity as the details of them.
Regards,Danos

Hello Jorge,
A beautiful close-up of these medals. Their colours are great, especially the golden parts. Good sharpness and a nice blurry background.

Hello Jorge,
At first glance I thought of Maltese crosses but these ones have 5 arms, not 4. Good close up shot with perfect sharpness and dof, and an interesting note. Tfs!
