32.4mm. 18.43g. Plain edge. Unsigned (possibly by J.S. & A.B. Wyon). Victoria University was founded in Cobourg, Ontario in 1836 by the Methodist Church. According to the University’s website, it was established “by royal charter from King William IV” and “federated with the University of Toronto in 1890.” This is an exceedingly scarce medal with possibly as few as 75 pieces struck. Substantial original red colour shines around the rims and devices, while the exposed areas have deepened in hue.
