I have a Canadian Medal coin that I can find very limited information about and was wondering if anyone in this forum could give me some help with it? The best information I can find is it's a "Post Presentation Medal featuring Canadian 5 cent postage stamp behind a Postman" from an "interbranch, international mint showcase sample". It's about 64 mm in diameter and I believe it is made of nickel and not silver. The back is blank without engraving or any markings.

My research points me to a Torex show sometime in the early 1970's.

Anyone ever seen one of these or have any knowledge about it other than what I stated above? Any value here?

I've never seen this medal before. I'm wondering if the blank reverse was provided to be engraved for your favorite letter carrier?
