END OF TRANSVAAL WAR, 1899-1900, struck in bronze (27mm), the first by Swan (J.Swan & Co, Dunedin) (thin flan), the second by W.R.B. (W.R.Bock, Wellington) (thick flan) (M.1900/35; M.-). Good very fine; extremely fine, both extremely rare. (2)
The Bock type not mentioned by Morel although it is probably (M.1900/36). Sutherland states of the Swan type 'Issue not completed as war did not end, only 12 Struck'. This figure is probably erroneous.
