Mom's Medal 2. Leica/Lumix Macro-Elmarit 45mm

Here is the second of my late Mom's art school medals, this one from 1941.  It is inscribed thus on the reverse.  The coat of arms of Port Elizabeth is most interesting.  This smallish city, South Africa's 6th most populous, was founded in 1820, and has had a very strong British influence to its culture and architecture.  Wikipedia has this to say about the coat of arms as represented on the medal:  
The Port Elizabeth municipality assumed a coat of arms on 9 January 1878.[77][78] The design, prepared by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company (of London), was a simplified version of the arms of Sir Rufane Donkin: Gules, on a chevron Argent between two cinquefoils in chief and a bugle horn stringed in base Or, three buckles Sable; a chief embattled Argent thereon an elephant statant proper. The crest was a sailing ship, and the motto In meliora spera.
(In layman's terms: a red shield displaying, from top to bottom, an elephant on a silver horizontal strip whose lower edge is embattled, two gold cinquefoils, a silver chevron bearing three black buckles, and a gold bugle horn.)
Eighty years later, in 1958, the council made slight changes to the arms, and had them granted by the College of Arms. The changes consisted of adding two anchors to the chief of the shield, placing a red mural crown bearing three golden rings below the ship in the crest, and changing the motto to Tu meliora spera. The arms were registered with the Cape Provincial Administration in 1959,[79] and at the Bureau of Heraldry in 1986.
