Comment

There appear to be two sizes of these medals. The smaller 32.5 mm and the larger 50 mm. They may have been only “centennial” related &/or part of the Expo '67 group of medals. They appear to be made of either a copper nickel alloy, nickel plate over bronze &/or possibly pewter (no silver appears to be present). Likely made in Italy, by an as yet unknown provider. They appear to exist for all ten provinces and the two territories of the time (1967).
