2017 $200 Great Canadian Explorers - Alexander Mackenzie Pure Gold Coin (No Tax)

Arriving at North Bentinck Arm in July 1793, in present-day British Columbia, Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820) made history by becoming the first European to cross the northern North American continent and reach the waters of the Pacific. His drive and determination to succeed exemplify some of the qualities that define history's great explorers, while the chronicle of his journeys to Canada's Arctic and Pacific coasts would inspire others to follow.
