Medal or Medallion?

[Guest Panterex]

I have a ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK 2 1/2 SHILLINGS dated 1896

there is the picture:

And this medal / medallion, I'll post the pictures at my next post, cos i run out of space here

images on both sides are identical, so what is it?

It looks like it's been made by someone from a South African coin. With any writing smoothed off. It also looks very German in shape, I don't know the significance of that.

I'm quite keen on ZAR things and have some Boer war related items and a document signed by president Kruger. One of my customers is also a great great grand nephew of the president of the Orange Free State! I'll give you a tenner for it (to keep).

Chris, thnx a million for your help!

I thought, it was handmade, but wasn't sure, cos those cuts arn't parallel to each other. and cos of it shape it's not a perfect sqare, but it could be also because of age...

anyway, thnx a million once again!

I'll give you a tenner for it (to keep).

Tenner for what? a coin or medallion?

In anyway, it is not for sale, I'm sorry man, but this one is one of a kind in my collection...

But I do have 129 of HALF PENNY though (if you interested )

I meant a tenner for your South African 'Iron Cross'!

If they're all boring average 20th century halfpennies then you can keep them.
