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and granting agencies on issues relating to copyright, access to information, academic freedom and public access to historical documents.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 third is the 1649 - Destruction of Sainte Marie.
Sainte Marie au pays des Hurons was a French Jesuit settlement in Wendake, the land of the Wendat, near modern Midland, Ontario, from 1639 to 1649. It was the first European settlement in what is now the province of Ontario.
Due to the war between the Wendat and the Haudenosaunee, Jesuits Jean de Brébeuf and Gabriel Lalemant were killed there and later were canonized by the Catholic Church in 1930.
