An extremely rare gold numismatic medal. Obv: Bust of Leo Meloche in high relief, facing right. D. Lombardo under bust. UN CANADIEN engraved at bottom. Rev: Uniface, but stamped 24k. A cast medal weighing 488 grams (15.691 oz) and measuring 110mm. Believed to be one of two medals produced (the other medal has, alas, been destroyed). Mr. Meloche was a prominent Quebec collector in the 1950’s and 1960’s and amassed a major collection of Canadian banknotes, medals and coins, valued by newspaper reports at the time of over five million dollars. The collection was sold by L. Goldsmith, Montreal in two auction sales in 1971-72.
