Charlton-EONA-72 Variety 2. 64mm. 137.4g. Plain edge. Signed P.W. ELLIS & CO. TORONTO. According to The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Exhibition, Fair, Carnival Medals, Volume I, the Ellis issue was used between 1883 and 1886, and again between 1888 and 1896. The reference suggests that these seldom-seen white metal representatives may have been trial strikes or salesman’s samples. The present example is flashy and brilliant with partly reflective, partly dusky fields and terrific contrast. No marks to mention.
