What on Earth was the RCM thinking, in making this medallion?

Because it has all of the characteristics I'd expect to see in a cheap Chinese knock-off of a maple leaf:
- low weight
- slight design differences compared with genuine coins
- the "accidental" omission of the weight and the denomination
- The "rare mint error" of being a double-tailed coin.


It does make you wonder.

I thought it was a one ounce coin until I weighed it. And only when commems stated that it was struck on a SD planchet did it start to make sense as to why it weighs less than an ounce.
