CanadaTokenAlex New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 10/17/2021 12:12 pm Hello all! I have a question on the varieties that exist for the Floral Emblems set. Example set can be seen here: https://www.icollector.com/Rare-186...er_i34046947 I've seen the full Pewter set of 12 in the smaller ~1.25 inch and larger ~2 inch size - these seem to be pretty common. I've also seen some smaller individual pewter versions that have a loop on top, maybe meant to go on a key fob? Also, I've seen some individual 1.25" medals plated in a gold toned material. Wondering if anyone knows how many varieties there are and whether they exist for all 12 medals. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham - the Provincial Flowers are actually on the other side (Example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...al-51294213) Quite stylized, the relief on the floral side especially is very high.

I would never have known to look for a 28mm version - I may have seen them and passed them by thinking it was a 32mm. Report this Post to the Staff

They were produced in the early 1970's. Here is a link that shows both sides of the medals: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2034941775...263433204254 LM of RCNA Member of CATC Report this Post to the Staff
