McLachlan-279, Breton-157. 41.5mm. 37.66g. Plain edge. Signed J.S. & A.B. WYON. As last, but awarded to J.H. Pilkey for medicine in 1922. Dr. Pilkey would go on to serve as a surgeon at Kingston General Hospital. According to the 1951 Queen’s Review, Pilkey died in London, Ontario in 1951, where he worked at the Westminster Hospital. This medal is even better preserved than the last. Eye appeal is terrific and the research potential is even better. Ex: Saul Hendler Collection (Jeffrey Hoare Auctions, 6/1996), lot 1716.
