2021 Canada $50 5-oz Silver Great Lakes Tribute Colorized Proof
Canada Has Mapped Out A Way To Add The Great Lakes To Your Collection
There’s no way to understate the importance of North America’s Great Lakes. These five lakes — Superior, Michigan, Ontario Huron and Erie — collectively contain 21% of the world’s entire fresh water supply. They’re sort of the Fort Knox of water! Important not just ecologically but economically as well, the Great Lakes are one of North America’s most identifiable physical features. And now they’ve been shrunk down to a size that fit in the palm of your hand!
First Map Created Exclusively For The Royal Canadian Mint!
OK, don’t worry…. This isn’t some evil plan put together by a criminal super villain. It’s a fabulous coin from Canada that pays tribute to the Great Lakes with a colorized map design that’s an accurate 1:22,000,000-scale reproduction of the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth. This also marks the first time a cartographer has created a map exclusively for the Royal Canadian Mint! Struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this massive $50 legal-tender coin is more than 2½ inches in diameter! A masterpiece not just in numismatics, it’s also an amazing piece of cartography with a map that even shows the main highways! Plus, the contrast between the coin’s colorized portions stand out in vibrant contrast to the exposed silver glimmer of the lakes, year date and compass.
Gorgeous Proof Condition Augments Spectacular Design
To further augment that contrast, the skilled craftsmen at the Royal Canadian Mint struck this exquisite piece as gorgeous Proof coin. That means it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Plus, your coin will come beautifully housed in a premium black display case from the Royal Canadian Mint with a Certificate of Authenticity and a branded outer paper box.
