Comments:
The First Principal of a Royal Arch Chapter is known as 'Zerubbabel' and for this reason many Past First Principal's jewels refer to 'PZ' for ‘Past Zerubbabel’ or 'MEZ' for Most Excellent Zerubbabel.
Comments:
As most jewels are manufactured in the same year they are presented, date of manufacture for this jewel is taken to be the same as its presentation date. Please note this manufacture date is speculative as occasionally jewels are manufactured before or even after the date of presentation.
