McLachlan-158, Breton-136. 45mm. 41g. Plain edge. Signed J.S. & A.B. WYON. As preceding, but in white metal. Although R.W. McLachlan noted that more than six hundred examples were distributed to schoolchildren, he also cautioned that few had been offered for sale on the secondary market. As it was in 1886, it remains true today. This example has lived a hardscrabble life and shows myriad dings, scattered abrasions, and considerable wear. Clearly one of the medals distributed to the children of the Russell Hall Sunday School.
From the Michael Joffre Collection of Canadian Historical Medals.
