RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 02/02/2007 02:47 am I don't even think That's a coin. It has no denomination, and no Queen portrait. The pics are not good enough to read all the inscription and make a search, but as far as I can see, there's a "celebration 2000" and " Ontario" so it may be a medal for some community there.

Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 02/02/2007 03:22 am In order for it to be a coin/legal tender, it must have a denomination and the picture of the monarch on it. So, no, it is not a coin. It is some sort of medal/medallion/token. Hope that helps. Also, if it was gold, it would state the purity of the gold somewhere on it. Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 02/02/2007 03:24 am I think it says: "Millennium Celebration 2000 - ?, Ontario". Is that possible? Edited by Snooba 02/02/2007 03:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
Snooba Pillar of the Community Australia 1360 Posts	Posted 02/02/2007 04:04 am Here is an example of a Canadian Gold coin. Notice that it clearly states both the denomination and the purity, and it also has the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Report this Post to the Staff
