2019 Canadian $1 Heritage of the Royal Canadian Mint: The Matthew - 1 oz Fine Silver Piedfort
Widely considered to be one of our most beautiful commemorative pieces, the 1949 silver dollar is re-imagined as a brilliant uncirculated, pure silver piedfort coin. This 70th anniversary tribute is twice as thick and every bit as detailed as the original coin—a masterful work of art that is the lasting legacy of Thomas Shingles, Master Engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint (1943-1965).
Own this piedfort tribute to those who helped forge a legacy! Order today!
Features
LOOK BACK ON OUR PAST! Like pages from our history, a past commemoration is an opportunity to explore the heritage of the Royal Canadian Mint and thank all the people who contributed to its history, from engravers to the production floor.
HIGHLIGHTS A DECADE OF CHANGE IN CANADIAN COINAGE! Your pure silver piedfort coin is a 70th anniversary tribute to a well-loved commemorative piece that is the legacy of Thomas Shingles, Master Engraver of the Royal Canadian Mint (1943-1965).
ONE IMPRESSIVE COIN! A piedfort coin is twice the thickness of a typical coin—that means double the amount of 99.99% pure silver. This piece also has a brilliant uncirculated finish, much like the original.
AS FINELY ENGRAVED AS THE ORIGINAL PIECE! With the exception of an updated date (2019), the reverse is identical to the original design by Thomas Shingles, who hand-carved the image in miniature.
FEATURES A HISTORICAL EFFIGY! Just like the 1949 silver dollar, this $1 coin’s obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T. H. Paget.
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
1 OZ. 99.99% PURE SILVER COIN! NO GST/HST!
Design
Except for the updated date “2019”, your coin is a reproduction of Thomas Shingles’ original design for a commemorative silver dollar issued in 1949, to mark Newfoundland’s entry into Canadian Confederation (March 31, 1949). It features a detailed rendering of the Matthew, the ship historians believe John Cabot was sailing when he reached the coast of Newfoundland in 1497. The image of the three-masted ship under full sail was originally based on a model and taken from a photograph provided by Ernest Maunder of St. John’s, Newfoundland. Beneath the water lies the Latin inscription “FLOREAT TERRA NOVA” (“May the New Found Land Flourish”). The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T. H. Paget.
Packaging
Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
