21/2 Ducats - Aureus Magnus Canada

This is a fantasy piece — "Aureus Magnus Canada" issues have no connection to the Federal Republic of Germany's official coinage program. Struck privately in the late 1960s, these pieces were produced by Continental Illinois Rare Coin Investments and similar outfits marketing gold bullion tokens dressed in pseudo-numismatic clothing to North American buyers wary of direct bullion ownership during a period when U.S. citizens were still legally barred from holding monetary gold.

The X# prefix in the reference confirms its non-circulation, privately-issued status under the Krause fantasy and token classification system.
