2021 $50 FINE SILVER COIN
LOST THEN FOUND: CHAMPLAIN AND THE ASTROLABE


Champlain’s “lost” astrolabe? The journey and discovery of a 17th century mariner’s astrolabe near Cobden, Ontario, is the inspiration for this 5 oz. fine silver coin. Intricately cast in pure silver, a small-scale reproduction of the navigational tool-turned-treasure tops the coin’s reverse, which features Samuel de Champlain’s map of New France (1632). It’s a nod to the era in which the astrolabe was made, used… and lost!

 Cast in silver. The astrolabe rises from the coin’s surface thanks to high intricate casting, which gives it an almost 3D-like appearance — especially against the engraved map in the background.
 The art of mapmaking. A mix of traditional and laser engraving techniques adds astounding dimension to the map that makes this a must-have piece for history and cartography enthusiasts.
 Outstanding details. The astrolabe’s graduated scale is engraved near the rim in great detail.
 High demand. This one will likely be a sought-after collectible — especially with a low mintage of 1,000 worldwide.
