It features an image of 'The Fountain' in Dunedin, where The Salvation Army's work in New Zealand began, along with imagery of flags, a drum, and a trumpet, all framed by floral motifs and a gold rim.
Only 2,500 of the large Salvation Army Centenary plates were produced - and this is the best one I’ve ever seen (probably because it was never put into the dish washer like others I’ve seen).
