Commemorative medallion showing the defence of Rorkes Drift during the Anglo-Zulu War. Collectable remembrance item, not legal tender.
This item is a commemorative medallion depicting the Battle of Rorkes Drift (1879) during the Anglo-Zulu War. It is not a legal tender currency coin, but a modern collectors token designed to commemorate the historic defence of the mission station.
The image shows British soldiers defending a makeshift fortification of mealie bags and biscuit boxes against Zulu warriors, a well-known scene from the battle. This design echoes the famous battle imagery linked to Lieutenant John Chard VC, who was one of the officers in command during the action.
The battle scene was used on associated remembrance pieces and is linked historically to the theme of the John Chard Medal, although the official long-service award was oval-shaped and bore a different reverse design. This piece is a round commemorative coin, intended for collectors of Anglo-Zulu War history.
The battle took place in the area of present-day KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
