The "100th Anniversary Coin" was a 4RCR project. I was CO during that period and I believe that only 1,000 coins were minted. There was a great concern that we would end up with hundreds of unsold items and were all relieved that the coins sold out in short order. No additional coins were ordered. Any coins now availble will be through private contacts.

Cpl Fournier if you are refuring to the coin minted for 1983 reunion use as dollars for purchases made at the reunion for beer etc,. I have a number of them.  I kept 10 for later use.  If you are in London I could certainly let you have one.   I also purchased the Silver one of which I believe only 600 or so where minted.  The coin that Murry Wood is refuring too was made for members of 4RCR , I have one only of that coin as well.

Holy crap! I just went looking for mine as I'd forgotten all about it and, damn it, its not in my medal box where I ususally put all my gear. sigh, I'm going to look harder but Ron, if I can't find it, I'd sure appreciate... tell you what, Im heading up to London at the end of the month to resupply from the regimental kit shop, I'll bring the guitar and we can meet up at the mess later for some good ole war songs and pub music ala Mike and Al.   

Hey, if anybody has a coin handy and a digital camera, could you take a picture and post it. I'd like to have one for my RCR photo collection....

Thanks. Am I to understand you are in London now?  I just cleared it with niner frau, heading up Kwansan Monday morning, gonna tour the museum, abuse my credit card at the lkits shop and be at the mess for lunch. If you, and anybody else for the matter, is not working, maybe we hook up and do it together.
