When talking about must-haves, this puzzle set from the Royal Canadian Mint is something you shouldn’t miss out on. It looks back on Canada from 1866 to 1916 and paints a picture of the historical events that happened during that period. It is a masterful piece of art that represents all of the memorable elements of young Canada’s Dominion. Any numismatist who is a true patriot and a passionate collector will fall in love with the remarkable design followed by the story it proudly tells. You can pre-order your own by going to the Colonial Acres website, where they offer this puzzle set in fine silver with a gold-plated centrepiece. Read on if you want to know everything about the set in greater detail.

Each Piece of the Puzzle Tells a Story

The 14 individual coins included in the set tell a story of great achievements and upheavals during the first half of Canada’s sovereignty. Any numismatist should be proud to own it since it significantly enriches every collection by beautifully linking the coin to the historical event. It portrays impressive accomplishments that took place during these fifty years, starting from the eve of Confederation. On the main piece, which is the biggest coin in the set, the Centre Block Of Parliament can be seen. It is largely known as the political heart of the country and was unfortunately ruined from the fire that happened In 1916. The pictures on the remaining thirteen pieces were carefully chosen to depict the progress and all of the stunts and evolving traditions of the young Canada. All of them combine to represent different themes during the first fifty years of self-government. Some are connected to industry, others to culture or transport.

The Design in Detail

The primary material is silver but touches of gold can be seen on the outer edges of the centre piece and on the frames of the thirteen pieces. All of the photographs were carefully chosen to give voice to the period of prosperity and growth of Canada. They were all taken from the Library and Archives Canada collection and included in the set to create a beautiful piece of art. Tony Bianco is the artist behind the design of the stunning centre coin and the picture of the Parliament built in 1866. The surrounding pieces carry sepia-coloured images and the side of the central coin has the effigies of the monarchs engraved by different sculptors. Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, and King George V, while the remaining pieces have the image of Queen Elizabeth on the obverse.

Where Can You Get One?

This magnificent puzzle set created by Royal Canadian Mint is available for pre-order on the Colonial Acres website. The set comes in a rich and nicely designed wooden box and each coin has enough space to prevent scratches or any other type of damage. With only 800 coins minted in total, you should definitely hurry to get your own. Every pre-ordered puzzle set is to be shipped in November with a limit of one set per household. Show your appreciation and the spirit of patriotism for Canada by adding this history puzzle set coin from the mint.
