"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and granting agencies on issues relating to copyright, access to information, academic freedom and public access to historical documents."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 nineteenth is the 1868 - The Assassination of D'Arcy McGee.
The assassination of D’Arcy McGee, Father of Confederation and outspoken opponent of Fenianism, on an Ottawa street in the early hours of April 7th, 1868 is the greatest murder mystery in Canadian political history.
Patrick James Whelan was found guilty and sentenced to death on very weak evidences. Right up to the moment of his execution, Whelan insisted that he was innocent.
