McLachlan-134, Breton-175. 51.0mm. 340.33g. 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. A relatively high-grade example with substantial prooflike reflectivity in the fields around the devices. The soft rim bump above BRIDGE does not distract. Much better that usually found.
