Answer
Hello Carlton,
My catalog shows a $20 Gold coin minted in 1967 that bears the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II and the coat of arms on th back just as you describe.
However, the pcture in the catalog shows nothing about a monument, Sudbury etc.
I may be a privately minted medal.
I am just looking at phos so the info may not be 100% accurate.  Try contacting a dealer who specializes in Canadian coinage, or possibly check the Royal Canadian Mint website.
