I have been corresponding with a member of the numismatic peerage, a Dame of the Order of St Eligius. I don't recall hearing about Canadian numismatic Knights and Dames before this. Cool idea! They seem like a fun group and you can sign your name "Sir so and so K St.. E" or "Dame so and so K St. E." Do you know anyone else of the numismatic peerage? If so what can they reveal about this ancient order and the honor?

Claude Proulx, Chancellor, founded the Order first in July 1989 in Quebec City (PQ) and then across other parts of Canada, then through Europe. Claude honoured Frank Galindo bringing him into the Order, and Frank then founded the Brotherhood in the U.S. in 2009.

Claude founded the Order to create a friendly informal environment in which people of like mind can associate in pursuit of their common interest. Favoriser des relations amicales informelles a travers lesquelles les personnes pourront s’associer dans la recherché de leurs interets communs.

Its members are the Knights of St. Eligius. One of its charitable programs is promotion of numismatic knowledge, particularly among youth. The International Committee meets for selecting numismatists who will be inducted into the order.
