General Description : The Eaton 125 $50 Commemorative Medallion was an anniversary issue of the precursor to Gift Cards. These $50 Medalions were sold and could be exchanged for $50 in merchandise at any Eaton store in Canada. The commemorative Medalion is .9999 pur silver with a weight of one troy ounce (31.103 grams) It was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint with the highest standard and quality. The edge is plain and is struck with the coin's serial number. Out of 5,000 minted this one is 0977.
Front Description : The obverse of the medallion depicts the Eaton Stamp issued March 17, 1994. At the top of the coin it says Eaton 125 and at the bottom is the name Timothy Eaton whose image is depicted on the same. He was the founder of the Eaton corporation.
Back Description : On the reverse appears the first Eaton store in Toronto which opened on December 8, 1869. Timothy Eaton's strong assertion of "Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded" built the foundation of a retail company that generations of Canadians came to trust. Before it succumbed to fierce competition from American retailers moving into the Canadian market the T. Eaton Company Limited stretched from coast to coast as one of the largest retail operations in Canada.

Hi Bruce - I just got around to looking at this site again. Thanks for answering me. It has only been one year ago. I am a little slow at times. I may take it up to a jewellery or coin shop and try to sell it. Thanks Jo |

Hi Josephine, Have you considered selling it on e-Bay. I purchased this at auction about 10 years ago and paid $60. I am sure it's more valuable now. Bruce |

I won the Eaton 125 $50 coin at a lawn bowling tournament. I didn't spend it and just found it again. I would like to sell it. Thanks J. Waites |
