McLachlan-152. Lot of two (2) pieces. Each 36.6mm with plain edges and unsigned (by M.E. Lymburner). They were issued to commemorate a banquet and ball held in honour of the the Governor General, the Earl of Dufferin, and the Countess of Dufferin at the then-recently-opened Windsor Hotel in Montreal in February 1878. 1.) 19.11g. Lightly toned surfaces do not appear to have been gilt at any point. The flan is slightly wavy. 2.) Gilt. 18.42g. The gilding remains largely intact, and each side flashes appreciably when rotated under a lamp. Nice for the type.
