Fishing Competition Medal / Angling Award Medal

An attractive vintage fishing competition medal or award piece, likely issued for an angling club or organised fishing league in South Africa during 1984. Measuring 50mm in diameter and weighing 44.06 grams, this is a substantial display piece with a quality feel in hand.

The obverse features a detailed raised fish motif, while the reverse is engraved with the presentation inscription:

I.H.K.

12 Kompetisies

1984

Mev. J. P. vd Merwe

The Afrikaans wording suggests an award connected to twelve competitions held during the year, making this an appealing historical sporting collectible. Crafted in a bright silver-tone metal, the medal displays a classic laurel wreath border design.

Ideal for collectors of fishing memorabilia, vintage sports awards, South African ephemera, and unusual engraved medals. A distinctive display item with local heritage appeal.
