The most commonly referenced publications for Canadian coins & tokens would be the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins, and the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Tokens.
The information contained within these two volumes should suffice for all but the most dedicated of researchers.
Some foreign coins are referenced, but only in a cursory manner.
They should be available at any coin dealer's shop, or online i'm sure, but they aren't cheap.
There are other publications, but these ones seem to be the most comprehensive.
have a good one, jr

I would strongly recommend what I have used for the past 20 eons.....Coins of Canada by J.A.Haxby and R.C.Willey, commonly referred to as the Haxby. This spiral bound book includes all Canadian circullation coins, collector coins, all the colonial tokens, mint issue collector coins as well as paper money. Can get this at the New Penny(that fellow is a crook so never take coins to him) in Dartmouth for about $20. I'm still using my 2011 issue and it is in colour too boot.
