@Dearborn: Thanks for the additions. Quote: Not sure this one counts - but let me know commems... The Ontario medal and Belgium coin work fine. I think the Dominican Republic coin with the ox cart is off topic, however - no mining/drilling implements..

Here's an aluminum medal from 1959 that commemorates the first successful machine-drilled oil well - in Titusville, PA.  You can read about a proposed US commemorative half dollar for the anniversary here: - What If? 1959 Titusville, PA Oil Well
