Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 01/10/2021 5:51 pm @ntx, this is an interesting piece. On at least one website, I can find that "Maision de Frappe Fleure de Coin" is a private mint in Quebec, so perhaps your piece is Canadian. With that said, I'm not finding much about them on the interwebs. Here is a link to the website that mentions them, along with a pattern that has many of the same design elements as your piece: https://www.joelscoins.com/patagonia.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 01/17/2021 8:28 pm Nice detective work Spence. Found this site: https://www.joelscoins.com/patagonia.htm Not the coins but confirms the Quebec mint. Maybe only 15 were minted and this is Number 8? Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 01/18/2021 08:02 am I think that obverse legend might translates as "House of Uncirculated Strikes," or similar, so I assume that would be the name of the private mint making these tokens, since it also appears on the token in the link. 2014 Christmas token.
