Description: A rare 9 carat gold Currie Cup medallion, issued by the South African Football Association, which would have been presented to winners of the South African Provincial Football Tournament (also called the Currie Cup at that time, today the Currie Cup is a rugby trophy). The medallion is lovely and depicts a springbok and a wildebeest, presumably standing on Robben Island with Table Mountain, Cape Town in the background. The front reads "South African Football Association", the back reads "Currie Cup won by", with the space for the name and the year left blank. The medallion has 4 hallmarks, springbok head in U indicating gold of South African origin after 1948, 9ct for 9 carat gold, date letter Z for 1973 and makers mark "SAM" for South African Mint. Note - We have changed our description (previously we thought this was a rugby trophy tentatively dated 1938) and have now dated this medallion 1973 (Roman Z), the Springbok in U was only introduced for South African gold items in 1948. We have also seen a similar medallion, presented to the owner in 1975 for winning the Currie Cup Provincial Football Tournament for Northern Transvaal.
