It is difficult to choose a particular favourite among the many 2018 Royal Canadian Mint coins that celebrate Canadian history. But, it is clear that the 2018 Captain Cook at Nootka Sound Canada Silver Dollar Set is going to be a top contender for that spot. Captain James Cook trekked across Canada’s West Coast in 1778 in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. His month-long stay left a legendary imprint on Canadian history and is memorialized once again by the remarkably crafted special edition proof silver dollar set.

The set consists of a proof dollar, 2 dollar, 1 dollar, 50 cents, 25 cents, 10 cents and 5 cent coins.

- Hand-selected specimens only – despite being manufactured to the highest and strictest standards, each of the coins is carefully hand-selected to ensure you receive the absolute best samples.
