Commemorative & Historical Medals - AUD & NZ Delivery

Auckland I.A. & M. (Industrial, Agricultural & Mining) Exhibition, 1913-14, struck in gold (9ct, 14.7g, 29mm), by A.Kohn (Auckland), ring top suspension, reverse inscribed 'Ernest Drake/1st Prize/Vocal Solo/1914.'

Very fine and extremely rare in gold.

Hallmark for London 1904, ring top suspension, obverse inscribed 'Ruatoki/March 16,

1904/Ranfurly/Governor/1897 to 1904', reverse inscribed 'Malcolm Ross/Hei/whakamaharatanga/ki te Hui nui/Na tetahi hoa/pono o te/Iwi Maori.' ('We have had a good meeting. Thank you from your friends, to a disciple of all things Maori.'). Edge bruise at 5:30 o'clock on reverse, toned, nearly extremely fine.

According to a letter sent by W.P.Reeves to Lord Ranfurly on 27 January 1905, thirteen similar medals were made, and presented to the following people: Hon James Carroll, Captain Gilbert Mair NZC, Dr Pomare, Te Maikowha, Tupaea, Te Amo, Tutakangahau, Te Tuhi Pihopa, Paora Kingi, Te Hurinui Apanui, Tana Rakuvaku [Rakuraku?], Te Whenuanui, and Numia Kereru. Curiously, Ross does not appear on this list, although a letter sent by him to Lord Ranfurly on 22 June 1905 makes mention of the tokens. Ross accompanied Lord Ranfurly on a number of diplomatic missions, documenting the events in writing and photographs. His account of the 1904 visit to Te Urewera, 'Through Tuhoe Land: Lord Ranfurly's Farewell to the Maori People', was published in Christchurch later that year. Malcolm Ross was a journalist and New Zealand's first official War Photographer in 1915. He accompanied Lord Ranfurly on many of his visits around the Colony and further afield.

"A new Presbyterian Church is to be erected at Otahuhu, and the architect, Mr H.C.Grierson, is now, calling for tenders for the work of construction. The structure has been designed to seat about 200 people, and brick is the material to be used. The site is situated near Station Road. The exterior of the new church is to be finished with red and straw-coloured bricks, while the roof will be covered with red tiles. The design is in the Norman style of architecture. Provision is made for a room for the choir, and a vestry for the Minister."

William Ferguson Massey, known as 'Bill' or 'Farmer Bill' (26 March 1856-10 May 1925). He was the 19th and second longest serving Prime Minister of New Zealand, from 1912 to 1925, he was also founder of the Reform Party. He is widely considered to have been a very skilled politician of his time and was renowned for his support of rural New Zealand.
