Comments:
Note by Leah Robertson (WillsLady):
"The man on the coin is Frank Stevens (my Great Grandfather), he was a Steelworker at Dofasco when the coin was minted. Although when he was hired the company name was Dominion Foundries and Steel Inc. and later became known as Dofasco. Dofasco published a monthly newsletter called Dofasco Illustrated News, one of the editions featured Frank Stevens holding the coin on the front cover and a article about his career. Including my Great Grandfather, 4 generations of my Family worked for Dofasco."
