Obverse: bust of Logan facing left GULIELMUS E. LOGAN: EQUES, Reverse: crossed boughs of maple leaves tied with a ribbon at the bottom AD: GEOLOGIAM: ET: SCIENTIAS: NATURALES: EXCOLENDAS: GUL: E: LOGAN: EQ:D 1864 with wreath UNIVERSITAS MCGILL MONTE REGIO crowned arms of McGill above. Bronze 45mm, 47.7 grams Medal by J.S. Wyon Breton 117, Leroux 669. Sir William Edmond Logan, (1798 – 1875), Canadian-born geologist and the founder of the Geological Survey of Canada. The 1850s saw the beginning of the great international expositions, and Logan was a talented promoter of Canada's mineral resources abroad, starting with the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, the 1851 world fair at the Crystal Palace in London, England. A second similar opportunity came in 1855 with the Universal Exposition in Paris. Canada's participation in these high-profile events stimulated international interest in Canadian minerals. He was the recipient of numerous rewards including the French Cross of the Legion of Honour from Napoleon III in 1855, his knighthood bestowed by Queen Victoria in 1856. Also, in 1856 he was awarded the Wollaston Medal, by Geological Society of London.
The Canadian Museum of Nature and the Canadian Museum of History trace their roots to public museums started by Logan through the Geological Survey of Canada. He endowed a chair and medal at McGill where his friend, Sir John William Dawson was Principal. Seldom encountered medal, the last time this cataloguer saw this medal offered in a numismatic auction was in Jeffrey Hoare’s famed Torex # 6 Catalogue (1988) .
