Question
I too have a 1967 Confederation set in a red vinyl display box inscribed as Royal Canadian Mint Ottawa and also in French. It has a 1c, 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, and a $1 coin. The only other item in the box is what appears to be another silver coin with a shield and crown with CANADA on one side and a 5 point star of David design with a circular inscription CONFEDRERATION written twice and 1867 on top with 1967 below. My question is this last described coin appears to be silver is it silver?
Hi Tom, it is a sterling silver (92.5%) mint medal also commemorating the Canadian Centennial.
