CANADA British Columbian Artists Annual Exhibition Beatrice Stone Medal (1933) silver. Â Very few of these medals ever awarded.
This example in silver weighs 64.27g. 51mm. Not named nor hallmarked but came from Pinches archive.
Mr H A Stone was much involved in the creation of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Â He created this prize in memory of his wife who died in 1933 at the age of 69.
Only 12 silver medals were awarded, and the medal ceased to be given in 1945. Â Very rare.
