The Historic Medals of Canada, written by Alfred Sandham and first published in 1873, is a comprehensive guide to the medals and commemorative coins that have been issued throughout Canadian history. The book is divided into two main sections, the first of which provides an overview of the history of Canadian medals, including their design, manufacture, and use. This section also includes a detailed description of the various types of medals that have been issued, including military medals, commemorative medals, and medals of honour.The second section of the book is devoted to a catalog of Canadian medals, arranged chronologically from the earliest known examples to the time of publication. Each entry in the catalog includes a detailed description of the medal, including its design, size, and materials, as well as information on its historical significance and the circumstances of its issuance.Throughout the book, Sandham provides a wealth of historical context and background information, drawing on a wide range of primary sources to bring the story of Canadian medals to life. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and engravings, many of them taken from original sources, and includes a comprehensive index and bibliography for further reading.Overall, The Historic Medals of Canada is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Canadian history, numismatics, or the design and manufacture of commemorative objects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
