Canada's Flag

20mm, copper

Barb writes: Just looked at the Canada's Flag token and although I've not seen it, I can be sure of what it was issued for. Canada finally voted on it's own flag design in 1964. Until that time, Canada used the Union Jack as a flag. The debate over the flag design was very tough and finally the simple Red on White Maple Leaf won over. This coin was most certainly done to celebrate the fact that after nearly 100 years, Canadians now had their own distinct flag.
