2018 $30 Canadian National Institute for the Blind 2-coin Set (Silver Coin & Bronze Medallion) (TAX Exempt)
In the wake of the First World War and the Halifax Explosion that left thousands blind or partially sighted, seven visionaries saw beyond the tragedy and held fast to their ideal that those injured could lead productive lives, nurture their talents and ultimately fulfill their dreams. As the mints fist coin designed by a visually impaired artist and the first to feature braille, this keepsake is testament to the power of the CNIB's vision. It's a beautiful work of art that celebrates the strength and resilience of everyday individuals who inspire us all.
