SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10469 Posts	Posted 02/06/2018 9:27 pm 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?

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?
