Shining out from sheltered coves, cliffs and beaches, the lighthouses on our rocky eastern shores have long been beacons of guiding light for seafarers. Canada’s Atlantic coast is the last stop on the limited Canadian Coasts series of square coins, which feature a mix of engraved and gold plated images that offer a glimpse of the region’s rich and varied maritime heritage.
Special Features:
• A SQUARE COIN! Canadian Coasts is a limited series of three square-shaped coins that are a combined tribute to the longest coastline in the world, and the three oceans that line Canada’s shores: Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic.
• BIG ON DETAILS: At (27 mm), the engraved reverse is incredibly detailed.
• AN ARTISTIC TOUCH OF GOLD: Gold plating adds a rich hue to the rim and the iconic landmark of Atlantic Canada: a lighthouse on the rocky shore. Given the amount of minute details, this artistic touch is an extraordinary feat that required a high level of precision!
• RICH IN SYMBOLISM, ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT:
• The highly symbolic images are arranged in a pattern that bears a striking resemblance to the points of a compass. The design is the same, even when you turn the coin!
Packaging:
Standard maroon clamshell with black beauty box.
