1867 CONFEDERATION BRONZE MEDAL

On a Memorandum dated 3rd June 1868, from the Hon. the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, submitting that the Delegates to England on the subject of Confederation in 1867, thought it well that a medal should be struck commemorating the Confederation of the Provinces – he, therefore at their desire made arrangements for the preparation of the medal with MM. J.S. and A.B. Wyon Chief Engravers of Her Majesty’s Seals.

That Her Majesty was graciously pleased to approve of the design and the medal is now being prepared; he, therefore, recommends that a remittance be made to the Engravers of two thousand dollars, the sum voted for that object in the Estimates for 1869, and that they be instructed to prepare one Gold, fifty Silver and five hundred Bronze Medals, without delay.
