Aside of the absurd cost for it, people I've asked, nor myself, even have an idea what this is supposed to be. We all at one point thought it was some kind of Canadian shield, but only Alberta and Saskatchewan get that high numerically, and our shield gallery doesn't mark it. If someone actually knows, it would be interesting to find out as a collector's item to what this is.

Reminds me of the old custom font Maine used to use.

LeHay, this is definitely not Maine though.
