2017 Canada RCM Coin Lore - Forgotten 1927 Design 3-coin Silver Set (No Tax)

2017 Canada RCM Coin Lore - Forgotten 1927 Design 3-coin Silver Set (TAX Exempt)

In 1927, three circulation coin designs were chosen to commemorate Confederation's Diamond Jubilee; alas, they never made it onto a single coin. Ninety years later, the Royal Canadian Mint is re-visiting some of Canada's coin lore: we've dug deep in our vaults to retrieve these concepts and bring them to life in this three-coin set, which artfully bridges the past and Canada 150.

- 90 years in the making: This marks the FIRST time these designs have appeared on a coin, and they may be the only coin designs submitted to the Royal Canadian Mint by Group of Seven co-founder J.E.H. MacDonald and renowned muralist Gustav Hahn!
- A careful balance: Our team of engravers poured over every little detail of the original sketches in order to interpret each artist's vision, while adapting it for today's engraving techniques and finishes.
