It is in fact a memento made to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the Boer War in 1899. They have had the unusual idea of combining the Queen's South Africa Medal with the King's South African Medal. (QSA & KSA). The wording shows clearly it's purpose and I will show the other side + a close-up of the wording. Even the two ribbons are shown combined.

peter monahan Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I would hope that it would be self evident that this numismatic abortion isn't a genuine medal! A nice idea, but 2.0 from even the Russian judge for execution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
