Ag round & Canadian comm. questions
 
Hello all,

I have a round I picked up recently that I would like more info on. On the face is has "universaro" and "1972". Also there are five male faces above the 1972. There is also an image of a scale above the faces. On the back it has "one silver world trade universario". There is a symbol in the middle of the round I do not recognize. Also has images of the world. Anyone familiar with this round, who made it? Who do the faces represent? any other info would be appreciated.

Also picked up a Canadian Montreal Olympiad 1976 $10 & $5 commemorative coins. Any history on this one as well is appreciated. TIA

Thanks for the response. Was that $30 for each coin or the entire set? I found one site that shows the $10 and $5 set going for $200 US ( a bit more than spot for 28 coins). Does this seem reasonable for both sets?
