While looking through some old boxes I had tucked away, I found this coin that was handed out to all athletes who participated in the BC winter games. I was there representing the Vancouver zone in Olympic freestyle wrestling in 1982 , the year I graduated. Thought I would share as I was glad I found it again.

Thanks guys , it does bring back some memories. It was a long time ago and I was in a lot better shape, lol. It's not silver as it's magnetic but not sure what the composition is.

It looks like a Sherritt Mint issue. Similar to the Municipal Trade Tokens of the era. Most likely nickel.
