Comment

Starting in the 1960s, customers who filled their vehicle up with gasoline at a Shell Oil station in Canada would receive a free promotional medallion like this one. These medallions came in various themed series - to collect them all, you would need to keep going back to Shell Oil stations. In Canada, medallions were released to commemorate the Prime Ministers, the various provincial coats of arms and provincial flowers, the various provincial animals, and more.
