Canadian encased coins
71 years ago..... Canadian encased coins
Encased coins are coins that have been inserted into a holder that changes the character of the coin from money to an advertising or souvenir device. The concept was really popularized at the Pan American Exposition in 1901 and was used extensively throughout the 20th century for advertising. This coin was produced in 1949 for Charles Ogilvy Ltd. For much of the 20th century, Charles Ogilvy Ltd., known as “Ogilvy’s”, was a top department store. Famous for tartan boxes, this was the place to shop for “quality” goods of every description, and where staff spent a lifetime.
