2018 CANADIAN CIRCULATION COIN SET
FROM FAR AND WIDE

1st set of the series Circulation Sets with Glow-in-the-dark Coin.

In many hearts and minds, the 49th parallel is where Canada begins. This circulation set is a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the 49th parallel, the famous border between Canada and the United States of America. It’s the perfect starter set for a new collector, as it includes all the circulation coins in 2018 as well as features an exclusive piece: a glow-in-the-dark 50-cent coin that maps our patriotic pride.

On the 50-cent coin, the reverse image by Steve McPhee features the red-and-white flag of Canada, which is superimposed over all of Canada on an outline map. An engraved line highlights the International Boundary known as the 49th parallel, which marks its bicentennial in 2018. In the dark, glow-in-the-dark technology lights up the whole map, along with the latitude and longitude lines. The reverse includes the engraved word “CANADA” and the commemorative dates “1818 – 2018”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
