Item Details: Up for auction is a highly collectible, authentic vintage Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) canvas coin bag tag dating back to 1960. This historical paper tag was originally attached to a heavy canvas security bag transporting 100 Canadian Silver Dollars (face value $100) from the main coining facility in Ottawa.
- Authentic Lead Security Seal: Features the original, intact grey metal lead seal and factory twine string.
- Serial Marked: Stamped with tracking batch number 10161.
- Historical Context: In 1960, Canadian Dollar coins were minted in 80% pure silver
featuring the iconic Voyageur design. This tag is a rare piece of numismatic ephemera that protected those historic issues.
- Condition Notes: The tag is remarkably crisp for its age, featuring bright green text,
distinct black numbering, and minimal aging. There are no major tears or heavy staining.
Perfect for collectors of Canadian coin history, bank ephemera, or to display alongside a 1960 Royal Canadian Mint uncirculated / proof-like silver dollar set!
