If you are a true numismatist, you surely wouldn’t want to miss out on a beautiful three-set piece by Emmanuel Hahn. This artist has previously come up with the concept for two silver dollars and is responsible for some of the popular designs that are still present on the coins of Canada today. The three-set piece is called “the coins that never were” and rightly so. Several interesting concepts that he offered for the new circulation coinage in 1936 were mostly laid off. Thanks to the Royal Canadian Mint, Hahn’s designs have finally seen the light of day on the 1-ounce silver coins. Enlarge your coin collection in the right manner by adding this important piece of artistry and history combined in a three-set piece:
- The Polar Bear 25-Cent Coin
- The Goose 25-Cent Coin
- The Caribou 5-Cent Coin
The Polar Bear 25-Cent Coin
This silver coin features a polar bear standing on a flat mass of floating ice with his head turned to the right hand side. The sea is visible behind the bear as well as the Aurora Borealis that is positioned above the lower horizon and throughout the northern celestial hemisphere. CANADA is engraved and placed above the bear while the 25-CENT value with the year 2018, is engraved and positioned below the bear and over the ice flow. Hahn’s meticulous design has been brought to life thanks to the Royal Canadian Mint that has skilfully put it on the 1-ounce coin.
The Goose 25-Cent Coin
This 25-coin design features a side profile of a goose flying. Above its head is the 25-CENT value indication and the year 2018 is engraved on the right hand side of the coin. Below the goose we have CANADA engraved. Hahn’s detailed work can be seen on bird’s wings with all the feathers and shadows in the right places. The Big Dipper asterism, which can be seen from the northern sky in Canada, is included on all three sets of coins. This beautiful piece of artistry can enrich your collection and bring a sense of loyalty and patriotism in all Canadians.
The Caribou 5-Cent Coin
The interesting fact about this piece is its relation to the current 25-cent circulation coin. This piece carries Hahn’s first design which was the precursor to the current 25-cent one. The 5-cent piece is simply a must-have for any collection since it represents an important part of history that can be seen on a 1 oz. silver coin. The caribou is viewed in side profile and its antlers are making their way through the CANADA engraving. The Big Dipper is visible in the night sky and the 5-CENTS indication for value is placed beneath the caribou. This beautiful design of an animal in nature is a perfect representation of Canada. A true collector shouldn’t miss out on this unique piece of history that has found its way to the 5-cent coin thanks to the marvelous work of the Canadian Royal Mint.
A Beautiful Three-Set Piece with Historical Significance
Emmanuel Hahn is the artist behind the unique and revolutionary designs that have finally been displayed on the three-set silver coins. The animals in nature were nicely engraved in the coins and serve as the perfect epitome of Canadian wildlife. A true patriot should have this set prominently displayed among all other coins in their collection.
