Sudbury Trade Tokens and Medalions,

[Chako]

Other than the Manitoulin Trade Tokens, I also have a bit of nostalgia with those from Sudbury. Pretty much the same as the Haweater tokens. The first time we went to Sudbury was back in 1980. We stopped at the Centennial Numismatic Park in Copper Cliff. At that time it was an interesting place to visit. There were a lot of large coins on display, and a souvenir shop that sold coins. We made sure to buy at least 1 of everything on tap. The next visit happened in 1984 with the new Science North. I recall that half of the exhibits were still being built and populated. They also had a souvenir shop that sold a lot of coins. At the time, I did not know that Science North now owned the Numismatic Park which was closed by 1984. They were selling the overstock at Science North. We bought a few more items that we didn't get back in 1980.

If you are interested in the Numismatic Park in Greater Sudbury, I found this very informative article.

Now onto the coins.

This was one of the big coins on display at the time.

There were a lot of American themes stuff, especially politics and space.

The Big Nickel was always the primary attraction. Over the years, everytime I visited Sudbury, I would pick up this most common medalion, I must say, the newer ones are not as good as the older ones. In fact, the last time I went to Sudbury, all they had was the worst aluminium version of the Big Nickel I have ever seen.

  Coins and tokens are neat parts of history. I just don't need to fall into another rabbit hole.
