Brighten Your Collection With This Panmure Head Lighthouse Proof!

From the Atlantic shores of Newfoundland to the Pacific coast of British Columbia, the bustling cityscape of Toronto to the peaceful isolation of the Northwest Territories, Canada is a country full of picturesque locations. Since 1930, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society has been documenting the country's stunning visual beauty with their bimonthly magazine Canadian Geographic. So, when the Royal Canadian Mint wanted to commemorate Canada's 150th anniversary with silver proofs featuring iconic images from across the country, they knew exactly who to call!

The eighth coin in the 13-coin Celebrating Canada's 150th series, this 2017 Silver Panmure Island Proof represents the Birthplace of Confederation itself, Prince Edward Island. The setting of Lucy Maud Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables," this gorgeous and historic island is an Altantic treasure. Built in 1853, the symbolic Panmure Head Lighthouse is one of the island's most familiar landmarks. Robert Hamilton's classic Canadian Geographic photograph of the lighthouse is brought to life in full, vivid color minted in a half-ounce of 99.99% pure silver.

Of course, accompanying the iconic image on this legal-tender 10 dollar Canadian Proof is Susanna Blunt's portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Your proof will arrive to you encased in a protective acrylic capsule inside a maroon clamshell within a black beauty box -- all with Royal Canadian Mint branding and a numbered certificate of authenticity.
