Vintage Jewellery Styles From The 1960’s

October 28, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

The 60s may not seem that long ago, but from a collecting perspective, fine and costume jewellery from that decade is increasingly desirable and, yes, vintage. Unlike the vintage bracelets, necklaces, and earrings from earlier decades, however, estate jewellery from the 1960s was bold and experimental, as transformative as the time itself. The jewellery designers looked at those classic, understated styles that defined the 50s and took accessories in a new, modern direction, boldly going where no jewellery had gone before. What makes 60s jewellery worth your time and money? Let’s look at some of the styles that stand out…

New Generations Series: Inuit Nunangat $20 Silver Canadian Coin

October 26, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Among the First Peoples of Canada, telling stories is a way for one generation to set an example for the next one by sharing traditional knowledge. The expectation is that the person who hears the stories will remember them and share them with others. Starting in 2021, the Royal Canadian Mint is releasing a new coin series that pays tribute to the art of Indigenous storytellers, known as the Generations series. Each represents a particular region of Canada and tells a story that is important to the Indigenous people of that region. The first coin in the series features the…

A Look at Five $20 Coins from the 2015 Face Value Series

October 20, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last Updated on October 21, 2021 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins Every year, the Mint releases a variety of commemorative and collector coins that are intended for enthusiasts and will never be used in circulation. Typically, these coins’ face values are irrelevant. However, the Royal Canadian Mint has occasionally released commemorative coins for their face values. As part of this series, the 2015 Royal Canadian Mint releases included five must-have coins. The Face Value Series Typically, when the Royal Canadian Mint (or any other mint) releases a commemorative coin, it is available for a price above its face value (its…

Why Do People Collect Coins from Around the World?

October 8, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Collecting of any kind requires a commitment, and that commitment needs to be motivated by interest. Your interest in world coins or foreign coin collecting does not need to make sense to anyone but you. Think of a child collecting rocks, going out in their front yard, and picking up colourful stones that have no real value except for the excitement and joy it brings to them. Coins do have value, but more important is the pleasure they bring to you as a collector. (and don’t worry, it makes sense to us too). Why You Might Want to Collect World…

The Different Styles of Vintage 1980s Jewellery

October 7, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Individuality and personal expression were very important to people in the 1980s. Big shapes and bold colours were a way to make a strong impression on others, so ’80s fashions embraced them in clothing and jewellery. While today’s styles tend to be more subtle than in the ’80s, you can still make a strong statement by incorporating a vintage piece from this period into your outfits. You may find vintage ’80s pieces as part of estate jewellery sales. Punk Style Much of the individualistic expression of this decade grew out of the punk counterculture. This anti-establishment ideological movement first arose…

The Big Loonie In Echo Bay

October 5, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Countless coin dealers and other retailers around the world proudly offer a variety of collectible Canadian coins for sale, but not many places allow coin enthusiasts to see one of Canada’s most beloved coins recreated on a gigantic scale. The Loon Dollar Monument in Echo Bay, Ontario, offers just that experience, drawing tourists from miles around to view this unique attraction. Canadian Coins 101: What’s a Loonie? In 1987, the Royal Canadian Mint dramatically changed the design of the Canadian one-dollar coin. The redesigned one-dollar coins were created to replace paper dollars in response to pressure from manufacturers of coin-operated…

The 1954 Canadian Paper Money Landscape Series

October 4, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on November 16th, 2021 at 12:06 amLast Updated on November 16, 2021 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins Since both Canadian paper money and currency have traditionally borne a portrait of the reigning monarch, the Royal Canadian Mint started planning a new series of banknotes in 1952 following the death of King George VI and the ascension of Queen Elizabeth II to the throne. The bills were due for an update since the ornate borders and allegorical figures featured at the time reflected a more Victorian sensibility. It was decided that the bills should be redesigned to reflect a…
