In the future, please crop and correctly orient images before uploading. * I came upon this when cleaning out my parents' house and am interested in learning more about this token. It appears to have been given out to school children as part of the Manitoba centennial celebration in 1970, given the accompanying leaflet, but I'm curious to know how many of these may have been made, where/how they were distributed, etc. Does anyone have any background on these tokens?

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 03/06/2026 8:47 pm Very nice @tdk! There isn't a ton of info on the tokencatalog website about this one: https://tokencatalog.com/token_reco...ord_offset=0 A couple random thoughts I have are: 1. keep the paperwork with the token 2. consider soaking in acetone to get rid of that tape residue Added: after more searching, I found the numista page (link here https://en.numista.com/36778) and the fact that it was struck at the Sherritt Mint. Here is a link to a 200+ page *.pdf with info on this now defunct mint: https://www.gosling.ca/Sherritt/She...Research.pdf "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
