2018′The Coins That Never Were -RCM Coin Lore’ Set of 3 Fine Silver Coins(18465)
2018 Fine Silver 3 – Coin Set – Royal Canadian Mint Coin Lore: The Coins That Never Were. His designs still grace our circulation coins today, but Emanuel Hahn’s numismatic legacy runs deeper than even history remembers. In 1936, the artist submitted several concepts for new circulation coinage, but most were set aside. Now, some of Hahn’s “coins that never were” are finally making the first-time leap from artwork to coin in this three-coin tribute set, which pulls back the curtain to shed more light on an important chapter in our history. To remain true to the artist’s vision, the Royal Canadian Mint’s engravers pored over every fine detail contained in one of the few resources still available today: Hahn’s sketches, which are a part of the National Currency Collection. The first 25-cent coin design (NCC-1963.59.15.35 – Bank of Canada Archives) features a polar bear standing on an ice floe, its head turned toward the right side of the coin, while the open sea is visible behind the mound. A stylistic representation of the Aurora Borealis hangs over the low horizon and stretches across the northern sky, only yielding to the Big Dipper asterism that is a common element on all three coins. The word “CANADA” is engraved at the top while the face value “25 CENTS” and the updated year “2018″ are engraved over the ice. The diamond-like stars are more prominent in the second 25-cent coin design (NCC-1963.59.15.34 -Bank of Canada Archives), which centres on a goose in flight. The side-profile view allows for the inclusion of several details, including the flight feathers along the outstretched wings. Here again, the Big Dipper adds a point of interest to the field, where the face value “25 CENTS”, the year “2018″and the word “CANADA” are also engraved in the starry sky. The five-cent coin’s reverse (NCC-1963.59.15.25 – Bank of Canada Archives) has a remarkable tie to the present: it is Hahn’s original caribou design, the precursor to the one now synonymous with Canada’s 25-cent circulation coin. Viewed in side profile, the ungulate moves beneath the night sky, where the Big Dipper is clearly visible. The caribou’s antlers reach into the legend, where the word “CANADA” is engraved alongside the year “2018″; beneath the flat landscape, an oversized “5″winds its way through the word “CENTS”. The obverse of each coin features the effigy of King George VI by T. DIGGING INTO OUR PAST: A unique exploration of Canadian coin lore and a peek at the art that lies buried in the history of the Royal Canadian Mint. FIRST EVER APPEARANCE ON A COIN: Preserved as part of the National Currency Collection, these three designs by Emanuel Hahn have NEVER appeared on a coin-until now. REVERSING HISTORY: Since these designs were proposed for circulation coins issued in 1937, each obverse includes the effigy of King George VI as an added touch of historical accuracy. FINE BALANCE BETWEEN THE PAST AND PRESENT: Our team of engravers have carefully scrutinized the artist’s sketches in order to faithfully interpret Hahn’s vision, as though the designs were entrusted to us today, with minimal adjustments for modern engraving techniques and finishes. Artist: Emanuel Otto Hahn. Packaging: Standard maroon clamshell with black beauty box. Finished Size: 67mm X 67mm. Composition: 99.99% Pure Silver. Launch Date: May 1/2018. Advertising Date: May 1/2018.
2018′The Sinking of the SS Princess Sophia’ Prf $20 Fine Silver Coin(18611)OOAK
It is the unknown Titanic of the West Coast. Stranded on the rocky outcrop, the 75 metre (245 ft) long steamship, was pounded by wind and waves for roughly 40 hours before eventually foundering during the early evening of October 25. The tragic sinking of the SS Princess Sophia left no survivors, only unanswered questions that linger a century later. Your selectively coloured coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the worst marine disaster along the Pacific Northwest Coast. Bring home this centennial commemoration of a tragedy that occurred in the icy waters of the Pacific Northwest. Special features: A DESIGN FIRST! Engraved on your coin is an innovative first: an edge-engraved rope frame. This technical achievement provides undulating relief at the furthest edge of the coin, fully encircling the nautical theme. A TRAGEDY NEVER FORGOTTEN! Combining selective colour and engraving, your 99.99percent pure silver coin commemorates the centennial of the tragic sinking of the SS Princess Sophia and the loss of more than 350 lives. Colour heightens the sense of tragedy on your coin where the colour palette conveys rough seas and icy wind that night, with waves crashing against the hull and sweeping over the reef at the moment of impact. ENGRAVING ADDS GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT! The reverse image fills the water between the engraved shores of Lynn Canal, the narrow Alaskan inlet where the SS Princess Sophia foundered. NOT JUST ONE FOR THE HISTORY OR NAVAL ENTHUSIASTS! Your coin’s captivating mix of colour and engraving makes it a stunning addition to your collection, regardless of theme. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. Limited to 6,000 coins worldwide. Your coin is crafted from one ounce of 99.99percent pure silver. Your coin is GST/HST exempt. Design: The powerful coin image by Yves Bérubé presents a dramatic depiction of an event that has been called the unknown Titanic of the West Coast. The artist’s choice of colours convey the rough seas in the early morning hours of October 24, 1918, when a blinding winter storm pushed the SS Princess Sophia off course and on a fateful collision with a wave-swept reef. The colour image fills the space between the engraved shores of Lynn Canal, the Alaskan Inlet where the events took place, which adds geographic context to the design. While the face value “20 DOLLARS”, the word “CANADA” and the year “2018″ are engraved on both shores, the reverse is framed by an innovative nautical rope motif engraved to the edge. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. A rising barometer had given the Captain and crew a sense of hope that the gale would soon subside; however, the converging weather systems resulted in the storm intensifying. It’s hard to know exactly how many lives were lost in the tragedy. The main reason for the discrepancy in the passenger manifest was largely due to the fact that several workers had got on board in Skagway to replace crewmembers who had come down with the flu plus and there were possible stowaways on board. The tragedy was pushed off the front pages of the newspapers by world events, from the Spanish flu influenza to the end of the First World War. Many of the recovered bodies arrived in Vancouver on November 11, 1918, just as the city began celebrating the Armistice.

2018′The Great Horned Owl -Zentangle(R) Art’ Proof $30 Fine Silver Coin(18513)NT
Not so on the Zentangle®-inspired reverse, where the owls feathered features and all-knowing gaze provide the framework for a highly artistic wildlife portrait that is anything but traditional. DESIGN Inspired by a popular creative process known as Zentangle®, the reverse design by Jori van der Linde presents a stylized, artistic take on the traditional image of a great horned owl. The bird of preys familiar features are unmistakable, especially its piercing gaze, hooked beak and the shape of its ear-like tufts; but its layered plumage is transformed by an elaborate mix of repetitive abstract patterns that are each more intricate than the next. Every pattern is painstakingly brought to life by a complex mix of precision engraving and sophisticated frosting, with varying thickness of lines, shaded elements, and relief that add a sense of layered depth and contrast to the overall arrangement. The reverse also features the engraved face value 30 DOLLARS, the year 2018 and the word CANADA. The obverse replicates one of the patterns seen on the reverse, and features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt SPECIAL FEATURES – BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: Our first Zentangle® Art wolf coin left collectors eager for more! Another iconic Canadian species, the great horned owl, is transformed by an elaborate design style based on the structured patterns of the Zentangle® method. A CELEBRATION OF ART, NATURE AND FOLKLORE: Layers of repetitive abstract patterns come together beautifully to re-create the wise owls feathered features and fittingly, in a style reminiscent of classic storybook illustrations. IMMACULATE DETAILS ON A LARGE SCALE: With its large diameter, this coin is perfectly sized to showcase such a complex design, which truly stands out against the brilliant proof finish. Repeat viewings will bring new appreciation for the incomparable artistry and craftsmanship! – EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP: Every intricately engraved pattern has a beauty of its own. Multiple finishes help set them apart, along with thicker lines and shaded elements that add a sense of layered depth and contrast to the overall design. A UNIFYING ELEMENT ON BOTH SIDES: Even the obverse features an intricate pattern, which is replicated from the reverse. It was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. Learn more at zentangle.
