McLachlan-164, Breton-121. 45mm. 47.4g. Plain edge. Signed J.S & A.B. WYON. John Torrance founded this medal in honour of his late wife, Elizabeth. It was awarded to the best student in the graduating law class. Featuring arguably one of the finest designs in the series, this piece showcases deep brown surfaces with red and violet accents. Partial reflectivity remains in the fields. Free of edge marks. A popular Wyon entry in the McGill and LeRoux series.
