Hello again everyone!

I've been digging through my collections, and found another coin that I'm a little stumped on, and I'm hoping someone can give me some info on it.

I don't know about the coin, I tried searching as I know the Dogwood is the Emblem of BC (since the 1950's I think?) and BC joined Confederation in 1871, so the coin is likely some kind of Commemorative coin thing. I've lived most of my life in BC but don't recall ever seeing one ;)

Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

This is one of thirteen medallions featuring the provincial / territorial flowers on one side, and the coat of arms and the year they entered Confederation on the other. The thirteenth one has the coat of arms of Canada and the maple leaf. These were gas station premiums from about 1967. These can be found in most dealers scratch trays for 50 cents to a dollar each.
