TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 3:26 pm NumisRob, Your Calgary Stampede is a Canadian so-called dollar I would imagine. There is a big rodeo and celebration in Calgary every year and there were numerous issues of these with various designs over the years as souvenirs. That is all I know. I have seen these many times while searching for medals on ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/3452/i.htm...ary+stampede and Tokencatalog.com has quite a few examples. https://tokencatalog.com/display_re...All+Listings Edited by TNG 08/23/2021 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

daltonista Pillar of the Community United States 1073 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 4:08 pm Gorgeous medal, yarm! That Lewis Pingo gent sure knew what he was doing, didn't he? Since the medal celebrates Garrick, I guess it goes without saying that the lovely ladies on the reverse would be Thalia, Euterpe, and Melpomene -- the muses of comedy, music, and tragedy, respectively.

yarm Valued Member United States 343 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 9:41 pm The Pingos had a style of their own particularly with the treatment of human figures. A contemperaneous medal by J.Kirk (BHM 161) portrays Garrick in traditional theatre garb along with the tools of the trade. Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3335 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 12:42 pm For @NumisRob: Quote: could one of our Canadian members tell me a bit more about it? I'm a long way from Canadian / Canada, but I'll provide a website that talks about your "trade dollar." I have a few different examples - interesting themes on many of them. Most I have are from the Niagara Falls area. Also, I have a few from Alaskan towns and various Hawaiian locales.

thisistheshow Pillar of the Community United States 987 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 12:48 pm I haven't posted anything in a while. I love this thread, and appreciate all of you. Hope you are all doing well. 🙏; I was at my LCS one day, going through things, having fun, when I came across this. I think I paid $2.00. 1968 Franklin Mint. Great Americans series. Twelve little brass? medals. I opened the back to get a shot of the reverse. I included the highlighter for scale. This is of course a very small pick up, but fun. And I didn't want it to just waste away in a box at the LCS. Any and all comments welcome, about whatever Report this Post to the Staff
