[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 8230744, member: 20201"][SIZE=6][B]1970 Hudson Bay Company Medal[/B][/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]1446920[/ATTACH] Medal commemorating The Hudson Bay Company Tercentenary [B]Obverse[/B]: The arms of the Hudson's Bay Company. [B]Reverse[/B]: The vessel 'Nonsuch' starboard bow view. COMPAGNIE DE LA BAIE D'HUDSON translates from French to English as Hudson's Bay Company. This medal designed by Mrs Dora de Pedery Hunt of Toronto and engraved by Canadian Artistic Dies Inc. Sherbrooke, Quebec. Approx. 48,000 examples like this one were struck for presentation to proprietors and staff on the occasion of the 300th anniversary, 2 May 1970. I bought this one a few years back and it is a discus of a medal. Huge and heavy at about [B]46mm[/B]. It has a matte surface in bronze and a strong bright contrasting copper edge and rim. A couple very expensive and hard to find tokens are the Hudson's Bay Co and North West Co. Trade Tokens. Since I wanted at least something connected to this, I found this one at a very good price and think it is a neat medal as well. I doubt I'll ever get a real beaver fur token. Mine is a bit nicer than the usual encountered. They did come on a cardboard display, which I do not have.[/QUOTE]
