Hello, I have a few questions about an Alberta 75th Anniversary Gold Coin that I recently acquired. I am wondering if anyone knows the specs on this coin/token because I cannot find anything except the history of it online. I would like to know the weight, purity, etc. if anyone knows. Thank you.

I don't want to open the casing so please excuse the red dust as it's from the case itself. I do have the original black/red case and insert however I understand that it had a serial number on the back which is no longer there.

It's a medal/medallion, not a coin as it doesn't have a denomination. Which is probably why it's hard to find information on it. Sorry, I don't deal much with these and haven't seen one before.

Thank you for the links; I have seen all 4 of them while doing my research. Unfortunately none of the resources specifies if it is pure/solid gold. I will take it down to my local coin dealer as he is a collector and might be able to shed some light on the specifics.
