Undated Upper Canada Preserved Medal. Silver. Edge marked ''32.'' Gem Brilliant Proof. 51.3 mm. 1,050.4...Undated Upper Canada Preserved Medal. Silver. Edge marked ''32.'' Gem Brilliant Proof. 51.3 mm. 1,050.4 gns. (67.97 gms.). 3.9-4.1 mm. thick. Signed T. Wyon, Jr. The obverse and reverse of this piece are stunningly brilliant proof with bright flash, lovely iridescent toning, and a strong strike. Obverse broken below lion, clear signs of more extensive die rust on both sides. The devices seem to have been given a matte finish in the die and show some cabinet friction. Preumably one of the 100 restruck by Wyon's establishment for W.S. Coutts.

Ex Ottawa Coins on December 14, 1963.
