Comment
The Johannesburg City Council offered a prize for the best design of the medal. The winner was Mr. P.M. Keith and the runner up Mr. A.J. Sirrall. Tenders were then called for the production of the medal. The lowest tenderer failed to deliver on time and the order was placed with Frank Stevens Ltd.
About 40,000 medals were made and issued to Johannesburg school children.
