2006 Canada $10 Fortress of Louisbourg Fine Silver Coin ICCS Certified PF68 UHC (No Tax)
Located in Nova Scotia, the Fortress of Louisbourg was built by the French in 1713. At the time, it was one of the largest buildings in North America, and it quickly became one of the busiest seaports as well, surpassed only by Boston and Philadelphia. Its success, of course, made the British nervous.
In 1745, the Fortress of Louisbourg was captured by British New Englanders, but it was returned five years later. Then, nine years after that, the British took it again. By now, Halifax was developing into a major military base, and so the British destroyed the town before withdrawing in 1768. Today, the Fortress of Louisbourg is a National Historic Site and stands as a living testament to the colonial struggles of the 18th century.
This 2006 fine silver coin is a tribute to this Canadian historic site, featuring an 18th-century military drummer outside of the fort's elegant main gate. ICCS has graded this coin PF68.
