<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 54049, member: 669&quot;]1949 was the year Newfoundland joined the Canadian confederation and ended its independent existence.&nbsp; All of its coinage had the British monarch&#039;s bust on the obverse, and either the denomination, or a crown and the denomination, on the reverse.&nbsp; According to Krause it&#039;s last official coin was a 1947 silver 5¢ piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless there is a bust of King George VI, and a denomination, on the obverse of your piece, it is a medal or token, not a coin, possibly issued to celebrate the joinder of Newfoundland with Canada.&nbsp; Without a picture of the other side, and with no information on the item&#039;s size, it would be a major project to compare the picture with the reverse of 1949 Canadian coins of every denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
