Petersun Pillar of the Community Canada 1700 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 1:16 pm I think that these medallions offer a good alternative to purchasing the real sterling silver MontrÃ©al Olympic coins. There are seven series in total with a total value of $1080, according to J&M. If you really love the design of these medallions, I'd say you made quite a good purchase! Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/18/2014 2:46 pm As DBM said, they were issued in 1980 by the Olympic Trust of Canada. Loblaws handled the distribution. There are 28 medals in the set, struck in nickel and are 32mm. Value is $1 or less per medal. Report this Post to the Staff
