Comment

The Sherritt International Corporation was contracted to mine nickel metal and create coin blanks for the Royal Canadian Mint. Because they already had this coin-making technology on hand, they decided to expand and open their own private mint in 1966. For some decades, it was the only private mint in the world to be backed by its own company-owned mines. The minting operations have since ceased, but Sherritt is still a major metal supplier to the Royal Canadian Mint.

This medallion was struck to demonstrate the capabilities of the Sherritt Mint, showing the purity of the metal they were able to refine and the ability of their coin designers. It was also given away to employees at the Mint for their service.
