Pure Gold Coin – Tall Ships: Full-Rigged Ship

With its iconic triangular staysails and square-rigged sails on all three (or more) masts, a full-rigged ship—like the one featured on the second Tall Ships pure gold coin—inspires a sense of dignified magnificence. That full complement of sails, so beautifully depicted on your coin’s reverse, makes it ideal for hauling goods and people over great distances and across deep seas, even in unpredictable conditions. The full-rigged ships of the 18th, 19th, and even 20th centuries facilitated the development of Canada—from the frigates built to defend these shores, to the cargo-carrying ships that supplied this fledgling nation.

Impeccable craftsmanship

Every Tall Ships coin is an expertly engraved and exquisitely detailed portrait of Canada’s past. These are the wooden ships that shaped the course of Canada’s history, and they served as a testament to our nation’s seafaring traditions and shipbuilding prowess.

Pure gold portrait

Your low mintage (800) coin is crafted from 99.99% pure gold. Its luminous, mirror-like finish lights up the engraved art on the coin’s reverse.
