The letters detail various medals including the preparation for 300,000 Royal Visit medals in which Berry had hoped to interest the Government to sponsor & present to New Zealand school children. Berry had trouble getting Government approval meaning it would have been too late to strike the medals in time for the visit. Although It was proposed to strike & distribute them anyway, the tour was cancelled so no medals were struck. F - VF
