250th Anniversary Canadian Sovereignty Coin Collection

From late December of 1775 to the autumn of 1776, the Continental Army invaded Quebec hoping to bring Canada into its rebellion against Britain. The campaign failed. By mid-September of 1776, American forces had been expelled, and Canada remained on its own path. Now, the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Quebec inspires a collection of Proof coins marking historic events that contributed to and helped solidify Canada's sovereignty. Introducing the Canada 250 Commemorative Coin Collection, available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange. This collection begins with Issue One, Canada 250, The Expulsion of 1776. Soon, your collection will continue with Issue Two, Declaration of Balfour - 1926, followed by Issue Three, Display Box and Certificate of Authenticity and additional collectible Canada 250 commemorative anniversary Proof coins, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Each premium 50 mm silver-plated non-legal tender coin in this collection features a Proof finish and selective red enamelling. The front of each coin honours a consequential moment in Canada's journey to sovereignty, beginning with Issue One, which highlights the expulsion of the American Continental Army from Quebec in 1776, and features high relief imagery of General Guy Carleton on horseback, advancing British and Canadian forces, and Quebec landscapes and fortifications. The back of each Proof coin features the original True North Crest, North Star with radiating proof lines, four-quadrant shield, Beaver and Moose supporters and a Maple Leaf cluster base. Shining symbols of Canadian pride, your Proof coins arrive in crystal clear capsules. Plus, the display box - arriving as Issue Three along with a Certificate of Authenticity - provides a handsome way to store and show off your collection for years to come. Strong demand is expected, so don't wait. Order now!
