1934 VICTORIAN CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS medal in bronze (64mm) designed by G. Rayner Hoff. EF condition.
Hoff (1894 1937), is best remembered for this controversial medal, symbolising the wool industry with the skull of a sheep. Victorian Premier, Stanley Argyle was furious with the design, saying 'I have no time for it....In fact, I seriously wonder whether it is not a big leg-pull on Victoria, as the artist is a New South Welshman'. The obverse illustrates a tower of the State Electricity Commission's transmission line from Yallourn to Yarraville. (Image)
