This set of two silver coins, jointly issued by the Royal Canadian Mint and the China Gold Coin Incorporation honours Dr. Norman Bethune, who was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario in 1890 and served humanity during three wars. In 1938, Bethune went to China to become Chief Surgeon for the Eighth Route Army during the Sino-Japanese War.

 

Design

In 1998 the Royal Canadian Mint produced a $5 silver coin to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Dr. Norman Bethune's arrival in China. The coin was issued as part of a two coin set, in conjunction with China Gold Coin Incorporation (cgci)

 

Packaging

Please note, these are original Royal Canadian Mint sealed sets. The Canadian 1 troy oz silver coin was manufactured by the Royal Canadian Mint, and the Chinese 1 troy oz silver coin was manufactured by the Chinese Government. Each of the two coins come in its original capsule, manufactured by the appropriate country. The Canadian coin is sealed in the capsule, the Chinese coin is not sealed. Due the the inherent nature of silver, it is common for the coins to be toned.
