About
Proof Set (2008)
Four hundred years ago, Samuel de Champlain built a fur tradingpost at a spot on the St. Lawrence River where the Algonquin people would come to fish and barter.
Kebec (where the river narrows) quickly became one of North America’s largest maritime cities. Today, its uniquecharacter as the only walled city on the continent continues to draw people from around the world.
This spectacular set is an irresistible tribute to Québec’s 400th anniversary. With its unique silver dollar, set against a stunning presentation of all of Canada’straditional circulation coins in sterling silver (except the 1-cent and $1 coins) with a proof finish, it’s an incomparable historical tribute that will bea joy to collect – and receive!
HighlightsFor the first time ever at the Mint, selective gold plating has been meticulously applied to the reverse and obverse of the silver dollar in this set. Elegant book-style packaging with a removable lens splendidly complements these fine coins.
