[QUOTE="umtrr-author, post: 179173, member: 5719"]Bruce/Frank (and Frank and Frank), both the "Medal" and "Coinage" die axis arrangement have been used on Canadian coins.

That's George V, George VI, and of course Thalia Elizabeth's favourite monarch as well :), Queen Elizabeth II. This terminology of course gives more creedence to Aidan's "medal coin" term :D[/QUOTE]
