2019 (1959-) Canadian $30 The St. Lawrence Seaway 60 Years of Prominence 2 oz Fine Silver Coin
Its waters serve as the economic lifeblood for two nations. Its channels and locks connect North America's heartland to the Atlantic Ocean—and the world beyond. In 1959, the newly completed St. Lawrence Seaway was hailed as one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century. Its canals and lock systems transformed a centuries-old trade route into a crucial commercial artery for the modern age. Over the last 20 years, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation improved lock operations by developing and implementing a Hands-Free Mooring system, and converting the locks to remote control operation. These are the most significant changes since the Seaway's construction—innovations that have increased efficiency and safety while making the waterway more competitive than ever. Today, the Seaway is an important shipping route for two nations, as well as a beloved destination for recreational boaters. About 40 million metric tons of vital cargoes transit the Seaway's locks each year.
Join us in commemorating the 60th anniversary of the St. Lawrence Seaway with a pure silver coin that is anything but conventional. While the view inside a lock highlights the waterway's legacy, the anchor-chain rim symbolizes longevity and gives your coin its never-before-seen shape—a fitting tribute to an innovative and ever-evolving marvel.
Diplomacy. Innovation. Lifeline. Celebrate the 60th anniversary of the St. Lawrence Seaway!
Features
A FIRST! A CORRUGATED-EDGED 2 OZ. COIN! The anchor-chain rim on your coin is a marine-inspired twist on traditional denticles. This corrugated-edged 2 oz. coin (a first) is made possible by the creative application of newer technology that has never been used on a coin this size (50 mm)—until now!
A LOVE LETTER TO A SYMBOL OF INNOVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL DIPLOMACY! Your pure silver coin commemorates the 60th anniversary of the St. Lawrence Seaway with a bold design that pays tribute to a vital waterway—one that connects the continent's interior to the Atlantic Ocean.
PROVIDES A WATER-LEVEL VIEW! The art provides a water-level view of the St. Lawrence Seaway, where a ship moves through one of the 15 lock systems.
INCLUDES THE SYMBOLS OF TWO COUNTRIES THAT SHARE ONE RESOURCE! A split maple leaf and star represents the Seaway as a binational partnership between Canada and the United States.
A NOD TO THE CITIES AND LANDSCAPES… The picturesque Seaway is part of the Great Lakes Waterway that flows past some of our largest population centres, which are represented by the Montreal skyline in the background.
…AND TO THE PEOPLE! The anchor is a special tribute to all who oversee the safe and efficient passage of marine traffic through our waters.
SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! Your coin includes a serialized certificate!
TWO OUNCES PURE SILVER! Your coin is crafted from two ounces of 99.99% pure silver.
NO GST/HST!
Design
Designed by Claire Watson, your coin is a stylized, symbolic celebration of the St. Lawrence Seaway on its 60th anniversary. It features a head-on view of an eastbound bulk carrier (laker) transiting through the St. Lambert lock, where the Montréal skyline is visible in the distance. A split maple leaf and star represents a binational partnership between Canada and the United States. A symbol of strength and longevity, an anchor chain forms the rim like corrugated denticles and gives the coin its unusual shape. The reverse includes the words "THE ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY" and "LA VOIE MARITIME DU SAINT-LAURENT" on a scroll banner that also bears a stylized anchor. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Packaging
