gcampbell2000 New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 10:35 am I have inherited some coins from my father and have one in particular that I cannot find any info on. It is roughly the size of a silver dollar. on one side , EDWARD VII KING AND EMPEROR ALEXANDER QUEEN, and on the opposite side shows 9 provincial symbols, ontario, quebec, nova scotia, new territories, p edward island, new brunswick, british columbia, manitoba and klondyke. if anyone can enlighten me as to what this coin is it would be greatly appreciated. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 10:53 am I don't think it's a coin; I think it's a commemorative Royal Visit medallion, produced as a souvneir piece for a memento of the King and Queen's visit to Canada. Report this Post to the Staff

gcampbell2000 New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 11:07 am unfortunately no date. I'm just trying to find out anything on this. the Klondyke is what has me interested. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 02/23/2014 11:08 am OP says it doesn't have Alberta or Sask.,that's why I surmise coronation. I believe Klondyke was a colloquial term for the Districts of Assiniboia,Saskatchewan,Alberta,Athabasca,and Mackenzie.It would have tough to fit all the districts and territories of the time on one medallion. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 02/23/2014 11:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
