rikcando Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 06/20/2009 10:04 pm looking around, and I cannot find it either. Why not post it to the Identification: Unidentified Coins, Medals, and Tokens forum and see if anyone there can help. They are excellent, and have helped me figure out a few coins.

WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 06/20/2009 10:50 pm The "front" of it is a copy of the "Sailing in Kingston" coin that was actually issued, but with some differences: As far as the "back" is concerned, it is nothing like anything that was issued by the RCM. The figures look amateurish, and the Olympic rings are even upside down. I'm thinking that this was some sort of unauthorized souvenir coin or even bullion masquerading as a real coin.
