2018 Royal Canadian Mint Forgotten Lore: The Coins that Never Were Fine Silver 3-coin Set (No Tax)
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.

- 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.
