# 454 - Some Canadian History - Part 18
The information below comes from the site of the Canadian Historical Association:
https://cha-shc.ca/english/what-we-do/what-we-do.html
"Founded in 1922, the Canadian Historical Association / La Société Historique du Canada is a bilingual not-for-profit and charitable association devoted to fostering the scholarly study and communication of History in Canada.
The CHA pursues a number of academic and professional activities for the benefit of its members; it sponsors a vast array of publications and represents the interests of historians and the heritage community by actively lobbying archives, museums, governments and granting agencies on issues relating to copyright, access to information, academic freedom and public access to historical documents."
A few years ago it issued a series of silver medallions related to the Canadian History.
They weight around 11.6g (0.37oz), have a 92.5% silver purity and Proof finish.
I could not find how many different medallions were issued, but I have 20 of them and they will be shown chronologically.
The eighteenth is the 1864 - The Charlottetown Conference.
It was the first of a series of meetings that ultimately led to the formation of the Dominion of Canada.
It consisted of five delegates from each of the three Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island) and eight delegates from the Province of Canada (present day Ontario and Quebec).
Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
This coin could be easily paired with the circulating 1964 Silver dollar to complete the theme.
Perfect observation. Canada as a whole country was born there.

That is why, in 1964, they issued a dollar commemorating the 100 years of the Charlottetown Conference.

You are right. A coin and a medallion about the same subject: the beginning of Canada as one country.
