A Silver Nurses Badge for Grey's Hospital in Pietermaritzburg, Natal. Shows the old coat of arms of Pietermaritzburg with the motto replaced by: "AMORE ET SERVIRE" presumably regarded as more appropriate for a hospital than the translation of the original Zulu motto into English, "the place of the elephants".
Darkly toned sterling silver with blue enamel. Diameter 25.7 mm. Mass 9.2 gm. Stamped at the back "925 RMP". Made at the Royal Mint, Pretoria, which dates the badge 1923-1941. Brooch-pin in working order. Some rim damage.
