About
$15 Sterling Silver Coin – Ten of Spades (2009)
There was a time when playing cards were valued like regular banknotes—and this Ten of Spades from 18th-century New France wasone of them; it was also a clever way for authorities to keep theircolony working despite chronic coin shortages.
Even more clever is how this intriguing coin preserves the playingcard’s rectangular shape and is embellished with colour andselective gold plating along its edge—the first time these twostunning effects have been combined in this manner.
Another unique feature of this coin: its “missing” corners. Theyreflect the practice of clipping cards in order to produce lowerdenominations. Historians believe the Ten of Spades was valuedat forty livres, but as a treasured part of your coin collection, you’llconsider it priceless.
