The inscription on the bronze plaque above the medal reads: EN TEMOIGNAGE / DES SENTIMENTS ET DES VOEUX FRANCAIS / POUR LA NATION SUD-AFRICAINE / ET SON CHEF VENERE / PARIS NOVEMBRE 1902 (in testimony of the sentiments and good wishes of the French people for the South African Nation and its venerated leader. Paris, November 1902). The plaque under the medal has the inscription: LE CHEF ... LA NATION / 1902.
During the 1970s the French negotiated a contract with ARMSCOR, the South African government-supported armaments company, for the supply of military equipment, particularly Mirage jet-fighter aeroplanes. The 1976 re-strike was produced to mark longstanding friendship between the two countries and cement the arms agreement.
A second restrike was made in 1977 for the Natural Cultural History Museum.
