ABEL TASMAN TERCENTENNARY, 1942, struck in anodised silver (50mm) (M&P.1942/1 [this piece]). Uncirculated and probably unique.
This medal project of the RNSNZ did not come to fruition and this issue was abandoned. This example was probably one retained by the designer James Berry from Gaunts in London 1948-9. Ray Harwood probably obtained it from Berry and it then went into the Lampard Collection (see NZNJ no 77, Dec 1999, p18,19).
Ex W.H.Lampard Collection, Noble Numismatics Sale 78B, 6-7 April 2005 (lot 2979).
