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.
With
a land mass of nearly 10 million square kilometers, 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 center coin features an elegant gold-plated
compass superimposed over a map of Canada. Take the trip across Canada
and through time as you add this low mintage coin set to your collection.
