A friend of mine gave me this set, he bought it from a local auction in Quebec, and was told it was from a bank that gave out year sets.

I do have a few examples of sets from banks, but I have never seen one with two gold-plated coins in the set. Anyone ever see anything like this?

This looks quite similar to the 1969 year sets issued by Eaton's but without the Eaton's 100th logo. The holder and positioning of the coins is exactly the same from what I can see. I agree with your line of reasoning that this is probably a bank set, and with the gold-plate, surely not for your average client?

Example of the 1969 year set with the Eaton's 100th logo commemorating the 1st store in Toronto, 1869...
