Royal Canadian Mint tokens and medallions

Starting in 1997, the Royal Canadian Mint started to sell hockey medallions to the public. To commemorate the induction of Mario Lemieux in the Hockey Hall of Fame, a set was issued honouring all three inductees. One set was issued in Sterling Silver while another was issued in Nickel. The success of the release led to future issues.

As a way of commemorating the retirement of Wayne Gretzky, a medallion was issued with a mintage of over 50,000. The medallions were $9.95 each and they were packaged in a blue sleeve with the number 99 in red on the packaging.

Hockey medallions

Canada Post

Starting in 2000, a series of stamps was issued to commemorate the All-Star Game in Toronto. The success of the series led to future stamp releases. Starting in 2001, the stamps were issued in a special collectors set. The stamps were packaged in a hard plastic case, with a hockey puck and corresponding medallions. These medallions were struck by the Royal Canadian Mint.

2009 IIHF World Junior Championships

The Royal Canadian Mint has produced the medals for the 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship. This event will take place in Ottawa from December 26, 2008 to January 5, 2009. For the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship medals, which were designed in collaboration with the IIHF and Hockey Canada, the Mint cut each blank – which is a medal without a design – out of copper. After the distinctive Ottawa design was struck onto each blank twice on a manual press using several tons of pressure, the medals were given their distinguishing finish: the coveted championship medals are plated with 24kt gold while the second-place medals are silver-plated and the third-place medals are finished with a warm bronze tone. All medals are lacquered and bear a Maple Leaf which is coloured with red enamel.[3]

The Mint also sourced the tournament's popular Player of the Game award, which this year is a uniquely Canadian-made acrylic and aluminum Hoselton sculpture, housed in a cherry wood box.[3]

Vancouver 2010

The Royal Canadian Mint manufactured the medals for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic games. All medals for the 2010 Winter Games were manufactured in the Mint's Ottawa facility. The medals were designed by Corrine Hunt and Omer Arbel. The medals are based on two large master artworks of an orca whale (to be used on the Olympic medals) and raven (to be used on the Paralympic medals). Each of the medals has a unique hand-cropped section of the abstract art, making every medal one-of-a-kind.[19]

• Size: 100 millimetres in diameter and about six mm thick for Olympic medals; 95 mm in width and average of six mm thick for Paralympic medals.
• Weight: Between 500 grams and 576 g depending on the medal. These are the heaviest medals in the history of the Olympic winter games.[19]

The Mint also produced participation medals for athletes and volunteers of the Game.

Other medallions

The Royal Canadian Mint has also been involved in creating medals for various Canadian government agencies. The various medals include the Long Service and Good Conduct for the RCMP, medals for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and for the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards.

• In 1976, the RCM created the Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals for the 1976 Olympic Games.
• In 1983, the RCM issued a medallion to commemorate Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. The composition of the medal is 50% pure silver and has a diameter of 36mm. The coin had a production limit of 100,000 and its issue price was $24.50.
• In 1986, a medal to commemorate the reopening of the Ottawa Mint facility of the RCM was issued. The composition was copper and the diameter was 60 mm.[20] The engraving was in English and French and a total of 2,000 medals were struck.[20]
• The RCM created a medallion to honour Elvis Presley. The medal features the word Graceland (above an image of the mansion and its gates) and an actual denomination of $10. The reverse of the medal features an engraving of Elvis, along with the words The Man/The Music/The Legend. The medallion itself is undated, but as the medal is 10 ounces, one would assume that it was made for the 10th anniversary of the singer's death. Additional information can be found in the Certificate of Authenticity which states that this Elvis Presley medal was authorized by Legendary Coins and struck by the Royal Canadian Mint. The packaging bears a copyright date of 1987, and states that the medal is for commemorative purposes only and is not legal tender.[21]
• The Royal Canadian Mint was authorized to issue 3 limited edition Eaton coins in .9999 pure silver. The Obverse on all medallions have the effigy of Timothy Eaton The medallions were issued between 1993 and 1995. The medallions were pure silver. The medallions were marketed as a "GiftCoin", and the first coin bore the portrait of Timothy Eaton on the obverse and a likeness of the original store of 1869 on the reverse.
  • The Second in the series depicted the Canada Post Timothy Eaton stamp on the obverse and a likeness of the original store of 1869 on the reverse. The Third medallion in the series depicted Timothy Eaton on the obverse and the World Wildlife Fund logo on the reverse.
  • Each medallion was sold in a plush box and were encapsulated in air-tight mylar plastic. Each medallion was individually numbered on the rim. The weight is 1 oz. (31.103 grams) pure silver (9999) and only 5,000 of each design were minted.

The medallions were marketed as Eaton "GiftCoins". They were inscribed '$50 *REDEEMABLE FOR MERCHANDISE AT EATON*REMBOURSABBLE EN MERCHANDISE CHEZ EATON'.[22]

• In 1994, the RCM released a set of six medallions called the Canada Remembers Medallion Set. It was produced in cooperation with the Canadian Battle of Normandy Foundation and paid tribute to the 50th Anniversary of the end of D-Day. The six medallions included: Passing by Harold Beament, Entry into Assoro, Sicily by Will Ogilvie, D-Day, The Assault, by Orville Fisher, We Flew with the Heroic Flew, by Rich Thistle, The Nijmegen Bridge, Holland by Alex Colville, and Finale by Don Connolly

  • A Wintry Sleigh Ride
  • Nanuk of the North
  • Hockey Dreams on Ice
• In 2009, the RCM issued a copper medal of King Edward VIII. It was based on the original design by TH Paget. The medal consisted of a high relief and had a diameter of 36 mm, with a plain edge and an antique finish.[23]
• On December 2, 2009, Canadian Tire announced that their Canadian Tire money would be offered in a coin shape. The piece has a face value of one dollar.

Military medals

The RCM is also known for its production of several military awards. In 1943, the RCM was commissioned to produce the Canada Medal for the Department of National Defense.[26] Currently, it produces the General Campaign Star and ISAF Bar awarded for service in Afghanistan. It also produces the Canadian Forces Decoration and the Memorial Cross.

• On May 16, 2008, the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, the Governor General of Canada unveiled the Canadian Victoria Cross. It was produced by the Royal Canadian Mint and is slightly different from the British Victoria Cross. In place of the British For Valour, the inscription Pro Valore is in its place.[26] The new design features the modern rendering of the St Edward's crown (associated with the present Sovereign), as opposed to the more angular Victorian version. The actual casting of the Canadian Victoria Cross was done by the Materials Technology Laboratory of Natural Resources Canada. The first two Canadian Victoria Crosses that were produced were sent to the United Kingdom for the Royal Collection.[26] Other specimens are for the collections of Rideau Hall, the Department of National Defence, Library and Archives Canada, and the Canadian War Museum. There are approximately 20 Canadian Victoria Crosses that exist and are kept at Rideau Hall.
• The Royal Canadian Mint will produce the Sacrifice Medal.[27] The Sacrifice Medal will honour Canadian soldiers, exchange personnel and civilians who have been injured or killed in Afghanistan since October 7, 2001.[28] The reverse for the medal is the Canadian National Vimy Memorial with the word Sacrifice to the right. The obverse of the medal features an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wearing a Canadian diadem with maple leaves and snowflakes. The words ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA and CANADA surround the effigy.
