It was originally issued in 1876 when it was presented to the Native Canadian chiefs who signed Treaty Number 6 with the government of Canada.  While original medals are rarely encountered outside of museums and can sell for as much as $40,000, this restrike is identical to the originals except for edge lettering indicating it is 10 ounces .9999 pure silver.  Mintage is limited to only 1,000 pieces, with a diameter of 76 mm.  This item is HST\/GST exempt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween 1760 and 1923, the British Crown presented several different medals to North American First Nations chiefs as tokens of friendship, to win their allegiance, to reward them for services, and to mark the conclusion of treaties.  Perhaps the most important and most artistic of these medals were the “numbered treaty medals” issued by the Canadian government between 1872 and 1923.  These were designed and produced by the leading medalists of the era, J.S. and A.B.
