On the obverse of the coin is a profile of a female facing left. above her it says "victoria dei gratia". below her centered between two small leaves it reads "1867". on the reverse is "canada" at the top and below it a shield with a variety of pictographs in small boxes. the shield is surrounded by leaved branches. centered below the shield it says "100". to the left it says "1867" and to the right it says "1967". clearly it's a coin celebrating the centennial of canada, but i can't find it on any websites showing canadian currency and commemoratives. i'd like to know the actual title of the coin and its value. it is at least an ms 60. a link to a site with info on the coin would be helpful.

Something about your description does not make sense because the sovereign in 1967 was Elizabeth II, but in 1867 the sovereign was Victoria. All Canadian coins made in 1967 would have "Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina" or some abbreviation of that which is Latin, and it means "Elizabeth II by the Grace of God, Queen." A photo would be very helpful. What is the diameter and or weight?
