Manitoba Coin Question??

I have a manitoba coin that has a pic of a buffalo inside a flag on one side and the praire crocus on the other side. Could anyone tell me what the value for this coin is or if there is any significance towards this coin?? Thanks

Manitoba Coin Question??
I can tell you a little bit about it. It is one of a group of commemorative coins. There was one for each of the provinces and they all had the coat of arms on one side (that's the flag with the buffalo) and the provincial flower on the other side. I'm not sure how old they are or what the occasion was being commemorated. You can buy them on E-Bay for 8-10 bucks.

I'm afraid that's all I can tell you.
Reply:Not much I can add, except to say it's likely made of bronze, and does not appear to be a product of the government. Still, it's a very nice looking piece.





Here's a link to a piece on eBay that may be like your coin:
