Reward

I realize this site is mainly US Coins. However I am having a problem identifying a token, I think. I have searched the web with everything I can think of to type in on Goggle, No results. I have contacted Coin News and other sites, again no results. All I want is to know what they are, why they were minted and how many. Its driving me crazy. Maybe I am dumb, whatever, but I needs to know.
They are a set of 12. On one side showing the outline of the province and year into confederation and on the other the flower of that province. They were made in Italy, possilbly 1967. You can view the coin @ http://wayne1949.myphotoalbum.com, under coins. I am offering a 1965 Canadian Silver Dollar to the first one who can identify this coin and tell me where to get the info I desire. The 1965 dollar is also shown as a reward. I promise to send this at no cost to anyone.

Cheers

Hmmmmm......

Tough one.

I thought I found one, but it's not quite the same. It has a flower with 6 petals, yours only has 5. Then again, it's also a Winnipeg medal.

 

Remember there is a set of 12. Where did you see this one?

Cheers

 

I havent found anything yet..but noted the ITALY printing on bottom of it...must be a medallion

 

There was a set of 13 (One for each prov/terr. + a Canada one) given out 1 at a time by Shell Oil gas stations to 'celebrate' Canada's 100th birthday (1967). Each one had the province and year it joined, and the provincial flower on the other side.
These aren't the exact same, similar, but different. Whats the diameter of them? They all have 'ITALY' stamped on them?

 

The diameter is just over the size of a Canadian 50 cent. The weight of each is also just over a Canadian 50 cent and under a Canadian silver dollar, about 12 grams. Metal I am not sure of. Yes they are for sure made in Italy and I am sure made in 1967.

Cheers

 

Still looking, heres the Manitoba one, same as the one you have?

 

Yes..now where did you get it? I have all 12.

Cheers

 

That one is from GatewestCoin in Winnipeg, Canada.

 

cool, shell liked to mint coins, I have a set of coins with presidents on them from shell...

 

I can't seem to find it on that site. Did you pay for it?
I appreciate that info though, never say that site before. Thanks

Cheers

 

Try this:
http://auction.gatewestcoin.com/cgi...pe=auction&viewAll=true&query=0.1181434321164
if that doesn't work, search for 'centenary' in the auction search page, they have 3 of them, and at $2.00 a piece, they don't seem to be selling.

 

kewl..just saw they sell from 50. to 100.00 for complete sets

 

Thank you, that is a great help and a place to start if they reply to me.
