Bank of Canada 75th Anniversary Allegorical Banknote Coins
|
||
|
These Masterpieces of the Minter's Art celebrate the inaugural Bank of Canada paper issues!
The Bank of Canada began operating 75 years ago in 1935 and was given responsibility to regulate the country’s money supply and to “promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada.” Accordingly, it was given the exclusive right to issue Canada’s bank notes. On March 11, 1935, the Bank issued its first series of bank notes. These beautiful notes featured allegorical figures representing Canada’s growing agricultural, industrial and commercial prosperity on the back. The Royal Canadian Mint pays homage to these notes with 4 brilliant, low-mintage proofs featuring recreations of the originals! Each coin is issued with the same design as the identically-denominated bank note that serves as its inspiration. Availability Note - The $10 and $20 Silver Proofs were just announced by the Mint, with a release date tentatively scheduled for late-July or early August. We are currently taking, confirming and guaranteeing orders for these coins now. The 5 ounce proofs are available now.  $10 Silver Proof - Goddess of PlentyResting leisurely on a classical plinth and clothed in a very comfortable toga and sandals, Plenty holds a sickle in one hand. Her feet rest casually on one end of a cornucopia, while all manner of fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains spill forth from the oversize mouth of the horn of plenty behind her. This scene is taken directly from the vignette depicted on the back side of the Bank of Canada 1935 Ten Dollar Bank Note. With a low price and low mintage of just 7,500, this pure silver proof is sure to be a winner!   $20 Silver Proof - Goddess of AgricultureThe
$20 coin features the Goddess of Agriculture and Farming. Shown
sitting on a large, undressed stone and clothed in a very
comfortable toga, Agriculture holds a honey dipper, dripping with
honey, in her left hand. At her feet kneels an agrarian farmer, who
pours grain from his hand into a sack, while behind her a tree is
burdened with ripe fruit. A sheaf of wheat and a low, stone wall such
as separates farm fields complete the vignette. This scene is taken
directly from the vignette depicted on the back side of the Bank of
Canada 1935 Twenty Dollar Bank Note.
The $20 pure silver proof also has a low mintage of just 7,500, so be sure to get yours quickly before they sell out!  $50 Silver Proof - Goddess of Victory, Progress, and Technology
This huge (nearly 3 inches diameter!), low-mintage (only 2,000!) 5
ounce pure silver $50 proof depicts the seated Goddess of
Progress, encompassing elements of Communications, Science,
Communications, Innovation and Invention. (Intriguingly, she is also
depicted as Nike, the Goddess of Victory, as indicated by the wreath of
laurel leaves crowning her head and the lighted torch resting nearby!)
Resting leisurely on a large bench of cut stone and clothed in a very comfortable toga and sandals, Progress holds scroll in her hands, while leaning forward, tense and poised. In front of her mouth is an art deco style, Depression-era radio broadcasting microphone on a stand. This scene is taken directly from the vignette depicted on the back side of the Bank of Canada 1935 $50 Bank Note. The $50 5 ounce pure silver proof has a limited mintage of just 2,000, and is only the fifth silver 5 ounce coin ever minted by Canada. Get yours while we offer this way-below-issue price!  $500 Gold Proof - Goddess of FertilityWhat
could be more special than this huge (almost 2-1/2 inches in diameter),
tremendously rare (mintage of just 200 !!) 5
ounce pure gold $500 proof? The mint have outdone themselves on this
beauty which depicts the seated Goddess of Fertility.
Lazing languidly between the forked branches of a large, overhanging tree and clothed in a very comfortable toga and sandals, Fertility carelessly pinches a small sickle between thumb and forefinger. Her exposed breast and nipple is a fairly obvious symbol of Fertility, but more subtle signs abound as well. The swollen gourd by her knees calls to mind a pregnant woman's belly. The spread branches behind her (hung with overripe fruit, no less) and the bundle of hay at her feet are all understated allusions to fecundity and female physicality. This scene is taken directly from the vignette depicted on the back side of the Bank of Canada 1935 Five Hundred Dollar Bank Note. The discriminating connoisseur cannot help but fall in love with this gorgeous coin, only the fourth 5 ounce gold coin ever minted by Canada! The mintage limit of 200 is even lower than the 2008 RCM Centennial $500 5 Ounce Gold Proof, which disappeared almost instantly at the Mint! Destined to sell out quickly, we recommend not delaying if you want this gem to be yours. It will truly be the crowning glory of your collection!
Regular Price $9,499 - Special Sale Price Only $8,799 Each!
Availability Note
- The $10 and $20 Silver Proofs were just announced by the Mint, with a
release date tentatively scheduled for late-July or early August. We

coins now. The 5 ounce proofs are available now.

Beautiful Design, Exceedingly Low Mintage - Don't Miss This Opportunity!
 2010 ANDA Special Edition Sea Turtle As
if all the banknote coins weren't exciting enough, we have a bonus from
the Perth Mint! We are proud to present this unique, rare,
pure silver turtle coin, with a total of only 2,500 silver dollars
being issued! What's more, this is the very first silver release in the
extremely popular Celebrate Australia Program.
This coin combines a highly popular animal motif with an aesthetically
superior design by noted Australian animal artist Elise Martinson. Add in the ridiculously low mintage limit, the pure
silver and the proof finish with full color, and you've got a sure
winner!The mintage limit is only 1/3 that of a standard Australian Silver Dollar! (For example, the 2010 Husky Antarctic $1 Silver Proof, with a mintage of 7,500, has also already sold out at the Mint!) This is also the first of a special-release series of these coins, and this first issue sold out at the Mint in a matter of days!  Plus,
this is the first of a new series! We've been told that the next two
releases will also feature mintage limits of 2,500, and will feature a penguin and a saltwater crocodile, respectively!Limit Note - Because of extremely high demand and allocations, we reserve the right to limit, restrict and adjust orders as we see fit to ensure a fairer distribution. We expect this coin to disappear quickly and be very difficult to find in the future, so don't delay! |
