[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 219368, member: 4367"]Well, I suppose if you dissect the issue enough you could say it's not a (true) Canadian Commemorative, but I like to look at the big picture. It is a 'Tribute Coin and Book' about Queen Victoria who was the Regal Monarch of all three locations; Canada, Grand Turk, and the Caicos Islands. Pound Sterling (£) ruled, and this coin is .925% Ag. The coin was struck on territory of the British Empire for territories which encompass the British Empire. This was no Virgin Island, Marshal Island, or Palau NY Twin Tower monstrosity or Elvis Guitar Coin. This special Tribute Package was struck to Commemorate the rule of their great British Queen. :) While it may not be a Canadian coin, only 22,000 were struck at Ottawa instead of Winnipeg or Tower Mint in London...
