Commems Collection Canadian: 1967 Expo 67 - Official Medallion

I previously posted about the Expo 67 Exchange Token (1967 Expo 67 Exchange Token) and stated that I would make a separate post of the Expo 67 "Official Medallion" - Here it is!

As the booklet that accompanied the Medallion provides great background information on the Expo and the Medaltion, I'll mostly let it do the "talking."

But first, a few basic statistics about Expo 67:

1. The formal name of Expo 67 was the "Universal and International Exhibition".

2. It was held in in Montreal, Canada from April 28 to October 29, 1967.

3. The grounds for Expo 67 covered approximately 900 total acres.

4. Over 60 countries participated in Expo 67.

5. More than 90 pavilions were constructed (many by participating countries, others by private companies/organizations) for Expo 67,

6. An estimated 50 to 55 million paid visitors attended.

7. Expo '67 was organized and received its primary national funding from the Canadian Corporation ("Corporation"), a Crown Company of the Canadian Government. The Corporation was established in December 1962 via the Canadian Parliament.
