Nice, but the OP asked for reasons why you like it so much...
Wholly unlike 99% of the Pillars that are there... original surfaces, color, iconic design

I understand this isn't a coin, but I believe it works well in the context of this thread. This medal has a clean, crisp obverse with a well executed conjoined portrait paired with a reverse that tells the story of the 1939 Royal visit to Canada through the map and legends. It is also superbly preserved and has amazing toning.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Great examples so far. Let’s see more! And define your reasons why it appeals to you.
I like the history of this medal ...original strike.
First manned flight witnessed by the king of France and Benjamin Franklin
The artist has works in museums around the world ....

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
very cool French medal!

Love the color and design on this, both sides.
I love the calligraphy.

dramatic color! and yes, I agree the calligraphic design is terrific. I like how the palm trees were incorporated into the outer circle.
I have always loved toners, and this one really stands out to me. I like it because it is a British Conder Token (I collect 'em), it had a ship on it, and it has an old structure on it (something I really prefer in Conders).
