Not a coin. Is it worth anything.

Okay, what have I got here? It's two full ounces and is 2" across. :help:

Not really sure of a date, but they sell as "commemorative medals."

The front dates are the centennial dates of Canada. The back date is the year that part of Canada became its own territory.

Here is one for Saskatchewan

Here is one for the Yukon

hope this helps!

I'm not looking to sell it. I have the first piece of whatzits I found some twenty plus years ago. I was just wondering if it should go in the loose box of coins and "stuff" or if it should be protected in a coin wraper or put someplace safe. I thought more in the line of semi-protected in that the grandkids could play with the old box of stuff that I sometimes scatter to let them play with the detector in the yard up at the homestead. I have the yard salted with all sorts of goodies. They find them and bring them to me to claim a reward. Grand-Pop's are easy targets that way.
Thanks for the input. I found a site that has responded with an email and I sent the particulars along with pictures and they are trying to find out more about it. They deal in these medalions and have never seen one like this one. I have run into dozens of similar medals and commeritives but never one just like this one. When they get back to me I will post the information for future referance and general information in case anyone else finds one.
:laughing9:

Okay, I got the answer from a dealer. This is his response.
