In Canada, the practice of giving peace medals to First Nations chiefs dates back to the early 1670s, when such medals were handed out by the government of King Louis XIV of France. Around the same time, the British government of King Charles II was presenting similar medals to First Nations peoples in British colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. When Britain gained control of France’s North American holdings following the Seven Years’ War (1756 to 1763), the French peace medals were replaced by British peace medals featuring King George II and, later, his grandson George III. Special features:
•Includes the reverse and obverse sides of the King George III Peace Medal rendered in striking detail.
•Includes a unique stylized maple leaf symbol with the year “1812.” This marker is the Government of Canada’s official symbol for commemorating the War of 1812.
•Limited mintage of only 600 coins.
•A unique product rich in tradition and artistry, featuring the unmatched quality of the
Royal Canadian Mint’s fine silver (99.99% pure).
Design:
Your coin design features the reverse and obverse sides of the King George III Peace Medal rendered in striking detail, including the young, armoured bust of King George III wearing the ribbon of the Order of the Garter. To his right is the Arms of George III that would have appeared on the reverse of the peace medals at the time of the War of 1812. Beneath the Coat of Arms is a ribbon bearing the royal motto, “Dieu, et Mon Droit” (God and My Right) flanked by the symbolic rose and thistle of British monarchy. Packaging:
•Your coin comes encapsulated and presented in a maroon flock-lined clamshell case. European nations presented medallions to First Nations leaders as tokens of respect and friendship, gratitude for service, and at the signing of treaties. Historical evidence suggests that these physical signs of fealty not only helped to ease tensions caused by cultural and linguistic differences between First Nations peoples and European settlers, but were revered by First Nations recipients and, in some cases, passed down through generations.

9/4/20125.0- Comments about Fine Silver One Kilogram Coin - King George III Peace Medal - Mintage: 600 (2012):
will display for all to admire
- Comments about Fine Silver One Kilogram Coin - King George III Peace Medal - Mintage: 600 (2012):
Historically significant - a beautiful coin to mark the war of 1812. Low mintage is a bonus. Coin displays even nicer than the picture suggests.
- Comments about Fine Silver One Kilogram Coin - King George III Peace Medal - Mintage: 600 (2012):
Questionable investment value. Low mintage can also suggest anticipated demand. Eighty one ounces of silver bullion (2.3kg) might deliver a better investment value.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

- Comments about Fine Silver One Kilogram Coin - King George III Peace Medal - Mintage: 600 (2012):
Perfect for display as the size and detail quality will impress anyone.Pros:
Much rarer than the other 1Kg Silver Coins available at the same price.
Very precise details.Cons:
Compared to the other 1Kg Silver Coins available, the presentation box is cheap, but this is really not a big deal since the focus was obviously on coin quality.
- Comments about Fine Silver One Kilogram Coin - King George III Peace Medal - Mintage: 600 (2012):
