Foreword

It is a great pleasure to write this foreword for Part 1 of the third edition of the New Zealand Commemorative Medals catalogue, covering the medals issued from 2010 to 2019. The four authors richly deserve the thanks of the whole New Zealand numismatic community for carrying out the hard work to research and publish this further instalment of their work on the full range of commemorative medals in New Zealand. There is no doubt that as a reference work it will immediately take its place as the main authority on the subject. The high quality of the work by Martin, Jason, Rodney and Hamish is already well known from their previous publications. This publication will further reinforce their high reputations. The authors’ work is also path-breaking in being released on the Royal Numismatic Society of New Zealand website, www.RNSNZ.org.nz, and thereby both reducing printing costs compared with previous published catalogues and being made freely available to everyone. The Society has long had the objective is supporting research and distributing it in this manner is ideal for achieving that objective. The authors are to be strongly commended for making their work available in this manner for the benefit of all. The benefits of the project of course go well beyond the numismatic community as an important addition to records of slices of New Zealand art, history, commerce and wider community life. It will be important to ensure this work continues to be made available long into the future. The Society will continue to make its full support available to the authors’ ongoing work.

Introduction

New Zealand Commemorative Medals Since 1940, 3rd edition

Part 1: The 2010s

Martin Purdy FRNSNZ Jason Gray Rodney Hall Hamish MacMaster FRNSNZ

ISBN 978-0-473-54232-0

This is the first part of a projected multi-volume series updating Hamish MacMaster and Martin Purdy’s New Zealand Commemorative Medals 1941-2014 (2014) and its predecessor published in 2009. The third edition marks a departure from previous RNSNZ catalogue projects in that it is being released electronically in the first instance, and in sections. In this way, parts of the book can be published as they become ready, and can also be regularly updated as new information becomes available.

The various sections of the catalogue will ultimately cover NZ’s medallic history from 1940 (not Centennial-related) to date. Issues up to and including the 1940 Centennial, are being covered by a companion series, “The Leon Morel Catalogue of Medallic Commemoratives of New Zealand up to 1940, 3rd edition” (ISBN 978-0-473-52830-0), also being published in parts and in electronic form.

About the Authors …

Martin Purdy FRNSNZ

Martin arrived in New Zealand as a five-year-old in 1970 with a matchbox full of British coins that eventually formed the basis for his collection.

The discovery of coins with legends in foreign languages and different alphabets led him to a career as a translator, though he has remained an active collector and student of coins and medals for over 45 years.

A former President of both the Royal Numismatic Society of New Zealand (2003-2006) and the Wellington Coin Club (1989-1994), and Secretary of the RNSNZ (1990-1997), he was involved in editing and publishing the Society’s Journal for over twenty-five years, becoming a Fellow of the Society in 2003.

More recently he collaborated with Hamish MacMaster on larger-scale undertakings such as the two editions of the catalogue of post-1940 Commemorative Medals published in 2009 and 2014, and the first and second editions of the Catalogue of NZ Challenge Coins (2011, 2016). In collaboration with Rodney, he compiled and published a supplement to the 2nd edition in May 2019.

A new initiative has been the start of a chapter-by-chapter electronic publication of a third edition of Leon Morel’s catalogue of pre-1940 medallic commemoratives, with this electronic third edition of the “MacMaster” post-1940 catalogue being prepared in parallel.

A keen vintage car enthusiast, Martin also edits Sphinx-NZ, the magazine of the Armstrong Siddeley Car Club in NZ.

Jason Gray

Jason started to take an interest in numismatics after being shown a 1993 kingfisher design $2 coin by his grandfather as a teenager. But it was not until many years later that he started collecting coins himself, joining the Manawatu Numismatic Society in 2007. His interests extended to medals and tokens. However, his passion is in the small details of coin errors, and this is documented on his website coinerrors.nz.

Now Jason works on discovering, photographing and cataloguing New Zealand coins, tokens and commemorative medals, and has contributed to the medal and challenge coin catalogues in this series since 2014.

He is a keen kayak fisherman, and loves going on adventures with the family.

Rodney Hall

Rodney was born in an England still gripped by food rationing. At 18 months, he travelled by plane (BOAC Argonaut) via the Middle East and Ceylon to Singapore (a three-day trip with flying only during daylight hours).

He spent the next 13 years overseas in Malaya, Singapore and finally on the island of Zanzibar in East Africa, and has fond memories of sea, sand and sun on the beaches there, with boarding school just a plane, train and bus ride away in Kenya.

It was during these years in East Africa that Rodney started collecting world coins, garnered by his father who travelled extensively around the world as a fisheries scientist.

After returning by ship (the P&O liner Chusan) via Cape Town to England, he could not wait to leave again, and in 1978 with a young family in tow emigrated to New Zealand.

Along with his interest in NZ challenge coins, Rodney also collects NZ Geocoins, NZ Pathtags and Philippine challenge coins, and is actively researching and gathering data for future electronic catalogues.

Hamish MacMaster FRNSNZ

Hamish was born in 1961 in Christchurch, where he developed an early and passionate interest in coins and medals.

Hamish has been a member of the Royal Numismatic Society of NZ for over twenty-five years, serving as its Assistant Secretary (2003) and Secretary (2009-2013), and is currently a Vice President (2014-).

In addition to regular articles for the Society’s Journal, he has written, in collaboration with Martin Purdy, the 2009 Catalogue of New Zealand Commemorative Medals 1941-2007, and its updated and expanded 2nd edition in 2014; and the 2011 New Zealand Challenge Coins: A Catalogue, and its second edition in 2016.

In 2010 he became a Fellow of the Society.

Pursuing a diplomatic career in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Hamish served as New Zealand’s Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Iran accredited also to Afghanistan and Pakistan (2004-2009) and was subsequently Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2015), resident in Riyadh and also accredited to Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman. In 2016 his list of (non-resident) accreditations was expanded when he was appointed as New Zealand’s first ever Ambassador to the Republic of Yemen. At the time of publication (2020), Hamish is again serving as Ambassador in Iran.
