akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 03/11/2008 11:54 pm Please help me identify this. It was mixed in with coins but I do not think it is, maybe a commemorative medallion? Thanks, Glen Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 03/12/2008 03:45 am Yep, it's not a coin, but a Canadian medal to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Confederation. They were issued by the Canadian government as an official commemorative piece, and the small ones were given away to schoolchildren. Larger ones (about 70mm diameter) with the same design were given to bureaucrats, government members or sold as souvenirs. For old threads about them, click here and here. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 03/12/2008 11:28 am Wow! I guess I better start using the search function before I post. Thanks for the links as I also have a couple of those issued in '67. I have another dated from 1939, any idea of what this one would be for? Thanks, Glen Report this Post to the Staff

The most common has a map of Canada on the reverse and if you look closely you will see a thin line showing the route taken by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. They were issued in various sizes and were either bronze or silver. Edited by chrycopaul 03/13/2008 10:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
