ZAR 100 ~ GRAND PRIX 1ST PLACE TROPHY
TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THIS TROPHY WAS AWARDED TO L. ABRAMS AT THE ZAR 100 GRAND PRIX FOR HIS DISPLAY OF GERMAN S.W.A & S.W.A STAMPS
THIS WAS THE 1ST PLACE TROPHY WHICH CONTAINS A GOLD ZAR 100 MEDALLION. IT WAS PRESENTED BY THE HUNT FAMILY WHO AT THAT TIME IT SEEMS OWNED MANY SILVER MINES, SO THE SILVER IN THIS TROPHY MORE THAN LIKELY CAME FROM THEIR MINES!
FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THERE DO NOT SEEM TO BE ANY OTHER GOLD MEDALLIONS OF THIS TYPE, I HAVE ONLY MANAGED TO FIND SILVER AND BRONZE MEDALLIONS. I WILL BE TAKING ALL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SENT TO ME AND POSTING THEM SO THAT THIS AUCTION CAN BE USED AS A PUBLIC FORUM TO DISCUSS THIS MEDALLION FURTHER, ANY INPUT YOU MAY HAVE WILL BE APPRECIATED!
THIS PARTICULAR MEDALLION IS STAMPED 9CT AND THE TROPHY THAT IT FORMS PART OF IS STERLING SILVER AND IS STAMPED THUS. ALSO FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, THE SILVER VERSION OF THIS MEDALLION WEIGHS 24g TO GET THE WEIGHT OF A 9CT GOLD VERSION YOU MUST ADD 5% (THIS IS WHAT MY JEWELLER TELLS ME) SO WE CAN SAY THAT THIS GOLD MEDALLION WEIGHS 25.2g.
THE OVERALL WEIGHT OF THE TROPHY IS 553.7g. WHEN WEIGHED ON ITS SIDE WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL WEIGHT OF THE WOODEN PLINTH THE WEIGHT IS 427.4g.
THEREFORE THIS TROPHY CONTAINS:
25.2g OF 9CT GOLD = R4953.80-
+-400g OF SILVER = R2600.00-
AND THE BALANCE OF +- 128g IS THE PLINTH (WHICH ALSO HAS 2 SILVER PLAQUES ON THAT I CANNOT WEIGH)
AND... THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE ITEM!!!!
ONLY ONE ON BOB!!!!
NONE ON EBAY!!!!
!!!!PERHAPS THE ONLY MEDALLION OF ITS KIND IN GOLD!!!!
size = 14cm height X 12.5cm width X 8cm depth
