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.

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.

Coronation medallion, Edward did not visit Canada while king.

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.
