McLachlan-174, Breton-131. 44.4mm. 46.6g. Plain edge. The original dies were by George Lovett. The prize itself was established by Alfred Sandham in honour of his wife. This example is a contemporary cast in copper, probably made for collectors. While the cataloguer of the Hendler Collection in 1996 noted that that piece was “cast as usual,” more recent sales of this medal in copper appear to be die struck. Either way, this is a pleasing example of the design.
