Copper and Silver. Breton-139. Lot of two. Each 40mm with plain edges and signed JOHNSON (Milan, Italy). 1.) Copper. 22.4g. Clean and glossy surfaces are largely mahogany-brown with iridescent accents around the devices. Great eye appeal despite a small spot of corrosion at the central obverse. 2.) Silver. 22.3g. Beautifully preserved silver surfaces are lightly toned with lovely colour around the borders. Partial field-device contrast. Apparently rare in this metal. Not present in Jeffrey Hoare’s Winter 1988 sale or the Saul Hendler Collection. Both of those pieces were in copper only.
From the Michael Joffre Collection of Canadian Historical Medals.
