National Gallery of Canada, given by Jean Sutherland Boggs [3]
[1] The medal was probably a double from the Heim Gallery's director Andrew Ciechanowiecki's private medal collection. Another exemplar of the same medal was included in a 1969 exhibition of Ciechanowiecki's collection in Louisville, Kentucky [“Sculpture in miniature. The Andrew S. Ciechanowiecki Collection of Gilt & Gold Medals and Plaquettes.” The J.B. Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky, Oct.20–Nov. 23, 1969, cat. no. 165].
[2] Former NGC curator Jean Sutherland Boggs received the medal from Andrew Ciechanowieki as a gift. In a letter dated August 19, 1969, she informed the director of the NGC about this incident and donated the medal to the NGC shortly after.
