Holiday season is the time of year when people are able to truly demonstrate how imaginative and creative they can be. At the same time, it is a perfect time for friends to test how well they know each other. If your goal this holiday season is to be both creative and unique in gifting to others, then Colonial Acres Coins is the place you want to shop at.

Why Should I Shop For Holiday Gifts At Colonial Acres Coins?

Regardless of how quirky or unusual the hobbies and interests of your family and friends are, there are many ways to make them happy. Colonial Acres offers countless equally unique gifts for people with different hobbies. Even if a particular friend or family member isn’t into coin collecting, it doesn’t mean they won’t appreciate a rare and intriguing specimen. Coins are ideal holiday gifts: they’re small, lightweight, intricately designed and affordable.

Can You Offer Me An Example?

Of course. Surely you’re aware that coins have been around for hundreds of years, which means they number in the millions these days. When it comes to Canadian coins, the number is slightly lower. However, Canadian coins have always stood for something more than mere money; they have traditionally represented the Canadian spirit and everything that is unique about this great country. 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Canada, and the Royal Canadian Mint has proudly issued a number of special edition coins this year to commemorate the milestone. One of those special edition coins is the exquisite 1 oz. Pure Silver Coloured Coin – Hot Air Balloons.

What’s So Special About The Hot Air Balloons Coin?

Canada is home to a number of hot air balloon festivals every year that fill the skies with breathtaking shapes and colours. This coin promises to become a must-have keepsake as this year’s festivals will be extra special in order to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. Unique features of this coin available for sale at Colonial Acres Coins include:

  • Low Mintage. Not only is this coin GST/HST exempt, but it also has a limited worldwide mintage of 5,000 units;
  • Craftsmanship. Your Hot Air Balloon coin is designed and produced using one ounce of the finest pure silver, complete with an elliptical shape and rich colour;
  • A unique 2017 milestone. As 2017 is Canada’s 150th anniversary, the country’s balloon festivals will be extra special this year. This coin marks that special occasion;
  • Exquisite design. Artist Calder Moor has really outdone himself by creating a unique tilt-shift perspective and depth of field rarely seen on other coins.

Colonial Acres Coins is proud to offer not only rare and valuable coins for sale but a number of other gifts of equal interest and value. Be it holiday season, birthday, wedding, celebration or any kind of momentous occasion, rest assured that Colonial Acres is the home of coins for both seasoned collectors and rookie enthusiasts alike. If you are looking for that perfect gift this holiday season we invite you to visit our website and check out our wide selection of items!  Plus any purchases placed before December 14th we guarantee that they will be delivered in time for the holidays.
