At least two replicas of the bust using different materials were created after sinking using a plaster copy Chantrey had, most prominently one in the Zoological Society of London and Raffles' institution.

One of those commissions was for a marble bust of Raffles created by sculptor E. Roscoe Mullins for the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) presented by Reverend William Charles Flint with a commemorative plaque in 1877.

[9] It was believed to be residing in the Singapore High Commission Office in London before being returned to RI in 1994 by one of Raffles' distant nephews, which is now sitting inside the boardroom.

[9] In 1972, headmaster Philip Liau commissioned Malaysian stone company Victor and Mendez to make a polymarble copy of the original bust in its absence.

It was placed in front of the Year 1-4 General Office on the upper balcony facing the parade square of the Grange Road Campus[6] with the quote “Would that I could infuse into the institution a portion of that spirit and soul by which I would have it animated as easily as I endow it with lands”.
