Bluenose | EMK.com The Mint says about this coin: Description Bluenose - 100th Anniversary of the Tall Ship 7.8 Gram Gold - Proof 99.99% pure Gold Mintage only 2,000 pieces With numbered Certificate of Authenticity Delivery in original Box The Gold coin from Canada celebrates the 100th Anniversary of a legend of Canadian seafaring - the Bluenose . The motive features an image of the Bluenose at it's launch day. It is a rather unusual depiction of the ship, as it is shown without sails. With the help of the hull drawing, which is visible in the background, the streamlined design is alluded to, which contributed significantly to the successful fishing and racing career of the ship. Furthermore, the year of issue, the denomination and the inscription "CANADA" are included in the design. The reverse of the 99.99% gold proof coin features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The Bluenose was an exceptionally fast and maneuverable schooner that was a symbol of the province of Nova Scotia in the 1930s and also symbolically represented all of Canada. In the "Fisherman's Cup" competition, which was held annually, the Bluenose remained undefeated for 17 consecutive years. It's name is probably due to the fact that the fishermen on board were exposed to great cold and as a result were dubbed "bluenoses". On January 28, 1946, the ship ran into a reef off Haiti and sank. The limited Bluenose gold proof coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered certificate of authenticity from the Royal Canadian Mint . Denomination: 100 $ | ||||||||||||
