LILIES LEAF 

COMMEMORATIVE

1/2 oz 24ct GOLD PROOF MEDALLION

IN A WOODEN BOX SET

Liliesleaf was purchased in 1961, at a time when the apartheid state started to clamp down more forcibly on the liberation movement. As a 'nerve centre' of liberation activities, the meetings that took place at Liliesleaf from 1961 to July 1963, and the events that transpired after the 1963 police raid on the property, mark a seminal shift in South Africa's liberation struggle history, and fundamentally changed the course of South African. 

Included in this outstanding Medallion presentation box are copies of the original hand-written documents of the accused

During the trial James Kantor convinced all of the Rivonia Trialists to hand-write brief biographies. They anticipated a death sentence, which meant that this would be an opportunity to represent something of the lives they had lived. The original documents form part of the Wolpe Kantor Collection, which is held in the Liliesleaf Archive.
