2018 Canada Before Confederation Colonial Currency of the Atlantic 4-coin Set (No Tax)

2018 Canada Before Confederation Colonial Currency of the Atlantic Provinces Fine Silver 4-coin Set (No Tax)

As is typical, the capsule might be scuffed. 

Before Confederation, the provinces of Atlantic Canada were separate British North American colonies, each with their own particular cultural character and even their own coins — a fact that adds a fascinating diversity to Canada’s coin history. This four-coin set reaches into history for a special look at circulation coins issued in a time before each province joined Confederation. A time before Canada.

Special Features:
• A TRIBUTE SET TO OUR PAST. A magnificent showcase of Canada’s coin history and the colonial coins of Atlantic Canada.
• The use of an antique finish adds an appropriately aged, patina-like appearance to these pre-Confederation designs by the renowned British engraver, L.C. Wyon.
• ADAPTING THE PAST TO THE PRESENT. These 19th-century designs have been painstakingly re-created and adapted to a larger-sized canvas than the original coins.
• HISTORY SIDE-BY-SIDE. Together as a set, these four coins allow for a close study and comparison of the different designs — even the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick cent coins have slight variations that set each one apart.
