Lr. 1875h — Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee - Schools of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. 1897. Copper and White Metal. Lot of two medals. Each 30mm with plain edges and signed BIRKS. These were almost certainly issued in extremely limited quantities. The town of New Glasgow only had about 4,000 residents at the time. School-aged children likely represented a small fraction of that population. Examples are very rarely found in any metal. 1.) Copper. 16.1g. Reddish-brown with some obverse spotting. Still attractive. 2.) White metal. 13.7g. Still flashy and reflective around the devices. The obverse shows minor marks, while the reverse is clean.
From the Michael Joffre Collection of Canadian Historical Medals.
