Struck Æ portrait medal commemorating the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation (1867-1967). This medal is part of a series produced by the Wellings Mint that depicts the Prime Ministers of Canada. This medal in particular depicts Richard Bedford Bennett (1870-1947), Canada's eleventh Prime Minister. Bennett is remembered as having a difficult tenancy as Prime Minister due to the fact that he was in office during the Great Depression. His vast personal wealth is thought to have attributed to the displeasure felt toward him amongst impoverished Canadians.

The obverse side of this medal displays a bust of R.B. Bennett and is engraved with the dates he held office (1930-1935).

The reverse side of this medal displays the central coat-of-arms of the Dominion of Canada (middle), surrounded by the individual coat-of-arms of each province and territory that comprised the Dominion in 1967.
