Description
Quebec 1950 Lieutenant Governor Gaspard Fauteux (Approved Design - see my other listings for the rejected design) 71.4mm silvered bronze medal 189 grams Clowery #16
Edge: C LAMOND
The medal by Quebec artist René Thibault (1909-1978) was rejected, reportedly due to its not being a suitable likeness of the subject. Subsequently Miss Sylvia Daoust was commissioned to make another sculpture, which was approved, while the original Thibault reverse was retained.
