Mint
Lombardo Mint, Sherbrooke (and Mississauga since 2005), Canada (1955-date)Comments
At least five different metal compositions appear to exist for this medal including; Aluminum, Brass, copper/bronze, nickel silver/white metal (TC-512852) and 999 silver.
WRT to “CASEY” on the obverse, some have suggested this is one of the Lombardo family, but there is no evidence to that effect.
