acan451 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi everyone I have enjoyed seeing so many amazing American commemoriative coins. I wanted to share with you all some Canadian commemoriative coins. They are dated from first to last. 1939, 1953 and 1927. They are all pure copper 1/2 oz, excpet Elizabeth II, it is 1 oz. I know this form is for American coins, so I hope you don't mind me sharing some of my own country's commemoriative coins I hope you all enjoy them Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 There's two varieties of the small 1939 medal - the other one, if I remember correctly, has a smaller portrait that doesn't touch the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Are those mint struck medals? I really like the 1939 and had not seen one before your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acan451 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi Bill Bill I have not had time to research this, as I have been busy writing my next article. But if I had to guess I would have to say yes. What makes think that is this. ELIZABETH II CORONATION...1953 IN ROMAN NUMERALS. 1 OZ.PURE COPPER.ISSUED TO SCHOOL CHILDREN IN 1953 That is from the seller on his site I just love these medals. The best part is I only paid one dollar for each one. All the Best Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Are those mint struck medals? I really like the 1939 and had not seen one before your post. Yes. They're RCM issues. The book "Striking Impressions" has the best coverage on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I love that '39 medal! I assume it was issued to commemorate a royal visit, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I love that '39 medal! I assume it was issued to commemorate a royal visit, yes? Correct - and the lines represent the rail routes taken. The train engines used were "Royal Hudsons" (I think you'll find a $20 coin referencing them in one of jtryka's posts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
