The coin's story

Commemorative coin Centennial of the Canadian Confederation 1867-1967 Obverse: Bust to the right of 37-year-old Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara. Reverse: A flight geese is surrounded by the dates "1867-1967", face value and inscription "CANADA". The geese were chosen because they are both dynamic and serene. Some coins were hit with a flat field. However, the strike was bad, corners were made with a concave field in place, and most of the flat-field dollars ended up in the crucible. The degree of rarity is unknown.
