Product Overview
Connecting Canada is the theme of this large and impressive 2022 14-piece coin set. In 2017, 2018 and 2020, the Royal Canadian Mint issued puzzle coin sets, all of which sold out immediately from the mint and quickly appreciated in value. With the same low mintage of just 800 and over 16 ounces of fine silver, this long-awaited 2022 issue adds a new chapter to the story of Canada's evolution.
Canada has a land mass of nearly 10 million square kilometres, so transportation has been an essential element of connecting cities, towns and rural areas. Each of the 13 jigsaw-shaped $20 outer puzzle-piece coins presents a different historic mode of transportation within a full colour vignette, while the $50 centre coin features an elegant gold-plated compass superimposed over a map of Canada. The obverse of all 14 coins features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Take a trip across Canada and through time as you add this low-mintage coin set to your collection!
