2025 $15 FINE SILVER COIN
THREE-MASTED SCHOONER
1st coin of the series Tall Ship (in silver)
A marvel of nautical engineering, a tall ship is a thing of wonder, and the three-masted (or tern) schooner on this selectively coloured 99.99% pure silver coin has a majesty all of its own. As seen on the coin’s reverse, this type of schooner doesn’t carry square topsails; instead, the sails are fitted in a fore-and-aft line that enables the ship to have a better windward performance. Between 1880 and 1920, hundreds of tern schooners were launched from shipyards throughout Atlantic Canada. Built with a high carrying capacity and smaller crew requirements, the terns supplanted the square-rigged ships as the backbone of the coastal trade by the end of the 19th century, when these were the wind-powered equivalent to the freight trucks of today.
➢ Enhanced with selective colour, this 99.99% pure silver coin is the colour version of Coin #4 in the Royal Canadian Mint’s Tall Ships series of pure gold coins.
➢ From the rigging details to the patent log towed astern, this historically accurate portrait captures the elegance of the threemasted schooner
➢ A beautiful companion piece to the gold Tall Ships coin, and an affordable option for collectors seeking to include this piece of Canada’s maritime history in their collections
➢ Only 15,000 coins available worldwide.
