Boer War Tribute Medals by M.G. Hibbard (1227/1500)

Boer War Tribute Medals by M.G. Hibbard is regarded as one of the definitive reference works on the fascinating and highly collectible field of Boer War tribute and commemorative medals. Produced as a lavishly illustrated hardcover volume, this sought-after title documents a wide range of medallic pieces associated with the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902), including civic tribute medals, patriotic issues, fundraising pieces, welcome home medals, and rare commemorative awards issued throughout the British Empire and South Africa during and after the conflict.

This standard edition of Boer War Tribute Medals was limited to only 1500 copies, with this example being hand-numbered 1227, adding an extra level of collectability for militaria enthusiasts, medal collectors, and Africana specialists. Boer War Tribute Medals is enhanced by outstanding colour photography by Gerald Hoberman, showcasing the intricate artistry, symbolism, and craftsmanship of these historic medals in exceptional detail.

An invaluable reference for collectors of Boer War medals, numismatics, and South African military history, Boer War Tribute Medals provides historical context and identification assistance for many scarce and unusual tribute medals seldom covered in mainstream military medal references. The quality production, large-format presentation, and specialist focus have made this title increasingly difficult to source, particularly in such well-preserved condition.

This volume would make an excellent addition to any Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, militaria, or numismatic library and is especially desirable for collectors of South African historical material and military memorabilia.
