acan451 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi everyone I posted this in U,S,coin form but I should have posted them here I wanted to share with you all some Canadian commemoriatives 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...
Art Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Nice medals. I have a number of Canadian medals some dating back to the late 1800's. I think these may have been struck to commemorate visits to Canada by members of the Royal Families but I'm not positive about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acan451 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi Art Well you are correct about two of them, but the largest one of the Queen is. The 1953 commemorative medallion for her Coronation. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chwkboy Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 The first one is to commemorate the 1939 Royal Visit to Canada. The 2nd as pointed out is to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Coronation and the third is to celebrate 50 years of confederation. Very nice keep sakes. And just a note, they aren't coins, they are medallions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
