Description
Introducing the fourth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's annual Tall Ships series of 99.99% pure gold coins.
Unlike the topsail schooner (Coin 3), the type of vessel depicted on this fourth Tall Ships coin doesn’t carry square topsails; instead, a three-masted (or tern) schooner’s sails are fitted in a fore-and-aft line that enables the ship to have a better windward performance. Between 1880 and 1920, hundreds of tern schooners were launched from shipyards throughout Atlantic Canada. Built with a high carrying capacity and smaller crew requirements, the terns supplanted the square-rigged ships as the backbone of the coastal trade by the end of the 19th century, when these were the wind-powered equivalent to the freight trucks of today.
The reverse of this 99.99% pure gold coin shows the ship embarking on a journey across a choppy sea with confidence and elegance.
Don't miss your opportunity to own this beautifully designed piece that truly displays Canada's maritime history.
