A standout sterling silver collectible spoon distinguished by a 1911 Canadian 5-cent coin top featuring King George V. The coin finial is the primary driver of value here, giving this piece strong numismatic crossover appeal in addition to its silver content.
The bowl is engraved “CITY HALL YORKTON” with architectural detail, adding regional Canadiana interest without distracting from the coin-top focus. Includes the presentation box shown (“Swain’s Juniper Lodge, Lacombe, Alberta”), which adds display value.
