Made in 1938 for the Voortrekker Centenary Celebrations.
The illustrated example is original. Replicas cast in white medal with a bronzed coating exist and are about a third of the value.
Five different plaques of similar design are known to have been made for the occasion (Laidlaw 0702a, 0702b, 0702c, 0702d and 0702e).
