Comment

Unverified account, “It was minted in 1991 for Prince Charles's visit to INCO in Sudbury, October 1991. They were produced by the Royal Canadian Mint to be given to the INCO employees, unfortunately at this time there was a strike at the mint (a nation wide PSAC strike lasted for thirteen days).  Only 250 were produced in time for the visit with another 15 000 planned.  However for various reasons, the extra 15 000 were cancelled.  Only the first 250 were produced.  The Medal is gorgeous, 38 mm, made from Nickel with a beautiful proof finish.”
