Today I will show you a Canadian medal from the series "Great Explorers".
This medal weights 1.3oz with 92.5% silver purity and Proof finish.
It pays homage to John McLean.
The following info comes from wikipedia.
"John McLean (c. 1799–1890) was a Scotsman who emigrated to British North America, where he became a fur-trapper, trader, explorer, grocer, banker, newspaperman, clerk, and author.
He travelled by foot and canoe from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back, becoming one of the chief traders of the Hudson's Bay Company.
He is remembered as the first person of European descent to discover Churchill Falls on Canada's Churchill River and sometimes mistakenly credited as the first to cross the Labrador Peninsula."
