The highest award in Canadian numismatics. Awarded to Dr. Harold Don Allen in 2003. It weighs .75 troy ounces and is 1.5 inches in diameter. After 1989, the medal was gold plated on sterling silver.

The obverse features a bust of the famous Canadian numismatist J. Douglas Ferguson with the inscription J. Douglas Ferguson Award: the reverse shows allegorical figures representing hard work, prosperity, victory science or knowledge. A rare opportunity to acquire a Canadian icon specimen.
