McLachlan-134, Breton-175. 51mm. 39.0g. Plain edge. Signed and issued by Montreal jeweller and silversmith Alfred Hoffnung. The first and rarer of two varieties with the cost of the bridge on the reverse listed as $5,000,000. Slightly muted silver-grey surfaces flash and contrast when rotated. Well-preserved for the type without distracting rim marks.
From the Michael Joffre Collection of Canadian Historical Medals.
