2018 Canada $250 The Voyageurs Fine Silver Kilo Coin (No Tax)
Only a coin as grand as this could ever capture the spirit of exploration that lured thousands of Europeans into the wilderness for fur. Travelling to the Great Lakes from Montreal was a gruelling voyage. Voyageurs paddled 50 strokes a minute, and carried hundreds of kilograms across perilous portages. Their endurance, strength and courage were unimaginable, but the lure of money and adventure was stronger still. By the start of the 18th century, 25% of Montreal’s men were voyageurs—regardless of class or social status. To this day, riding untamed waters remains a great all-Canadian thrill. Join the adventure, and experience life as a voyageur with this superlative coin!
