Thanks, all.
In 2002, WFB commissioned a 150th anniversary medallion that was struck by the Northwest Territorial Mint. WFB Branches had the coins in card carriers, The medal featured the stagecoach motif on the obverse, with "1852 - 2002"
Mine appears to be a knock-off

Thanks for that additional information Bill. Do you have any images of what the real one looked like?

Dearborn: Wells ordered a Bronze and a 1oz .999 silver version of this Sesquicentennial medal from Northwest Territorial Mint. Both Versions readily available on ebay. The bronze version in the card carrier is plentiful; the 1 oz silver version not so much, especially in the original packaging. The obverse features portraits of founders Henry Wells and William Fargo by Charles Vickers; the reverse is sculptor Ed Llewellen's rendering of the iconic stage coach. If you use "The Wells Fargo 150 Year Anniversary Commemorative Medallion Coin 1852-2002" as search term, Dearborn, you can get a look at them. ( It's my understanding we aren't supposed to post links to ebay listings. . .right ? )

 This was a recent purchase. It was presented to WWI veterans who made a pilgrimage to France in 1936 for the unveiling of the Vimy War Memorial. The actual monument is huge and is something I would like to visit one day. The Latin translation is "In memory of sixty thousand Canadians who in the year of the lord 1914-1918 surrendered their lives for their country."
