McLachlan-176, Breton-138. 45.7mm. 43.45g. Plain edge. Unsigned. The obverse is similar to Lr. 1440, except the congregation name (and inscription) are changed from WESTERN to CALVARY. The architects’ names have been replaced with ERECTED 1876. The reverse references the Congregational College of British North America in Montreal, founded in 1839. Each side is almost fully red, exceptionally so, with flashy central fields. Two unfortunate verdigris spots occur at the right obverse. Still very much appealing.
