Lr. 1101 — Montreal Catholic Commercial Academy P.S. Murphy Medal. 1874. Copper. 51mm. 64.9g. McLachlan-Unlisted, Breton-124. Cornucopia and CUIVRE on edge. Unsigned. Struck at the Paris Mint after 1879. This is the first of two designs for the P.S. Murphy medal. According to LeRoux, the design “has been refused because the bust does not look like Mr. Murphy.” The fields show minor marks and the still-glossy surfaces are only partially subdued. Free of rim marks. Pleasing eye appeal.
From the Michael Joffre Collection of Canadian Historical Medals.
