Hi there,
I was cleaning out my grandma's house this weekend and I cam across 3 coins.
1. 1911 coin. One side has a picture of Robert L Borden with the date and his name and on the other side there is a picture of the House of Commons and it says Ottata Canada
2. 1905 coin. One side has Saskatchewn and a picture of a symbol and the date. On the other side is the words "Prarie Lily" and of course those words
3. 1867- One side had Nova Scotia written and a symbol that kind of looks like a coat of arms. The other side has a "Mayflower" and of course the words.
If anyone has information on these coins any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do these "coins" have any denomination on them?

I think you have Commerative medals/tokens.
Does the Borden coin look like this?

I don't know much about these but there appears to be a set that included all the PM's.

There are no denominations on either of the coins. And yes the one coin that you posted a picture of is like the one that I have.
Anyone else have something to add or comment about??

Those Prime Minister coins did come in a set. About 15ish coins, but I can't recall off the top of my head. Seems to me the last time I saw the set for sale it was listed at about $10 CA. (which I thought was a little high - it didn't sell).

1905 is the year Saskatchewan joined Canada (we had anniversary quarters produced in 2005). That's all I have on that one...

These medallions (Prime Ministers of Canada and Provinces/Territories of Canada) were giveaways from Shell gas stations with a fill up in the late 60s or early 70s.

your right about it being 15 of them. I have a board of it here in front of me. With a couple of them in it.THE PRIME MINISTERS OF CANADA 1867-1970 and they were from shell dealers across Canada.

the 1867 Nova Scotia maybe a token, any way we can get a pic of that one. I will ask QC about it.

I'm pretty sure that it's one of the brass provinces/territories piece, same as the PMs one as I mentioned earlier.
