Thanks, mcshilling! I'm not very knowledgeable about such things, so I appreciate the clarification. I picked it up at a coin show this past weekend for $10 from a dealer who had a bunch of international coins that he was trying to get rid of. "PL" was written on the 2X2.

I believe that's because the US and Canadian definitions of PL differ.
Hondo's Griffon coin would qualify as PL by the US definition, not in Canada.
By a strange coincidence I sold 4 griffon dollars and three of those same Olympic coins for melt last Friday.
