Click image to view item.
The Titanic's Compelling Tale Lives On
The tragic fate of RMS Titanic has long captivated the world's imagination. It is a story of doom rendered perhaps more tragic by the hope and beauty with which it began. In an age that measured itself in leaps of 'progress,' the story of the Titanic became an instructional tale about fate and hubris-but also about sacrifice and honour. The year 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of this unprecedented steamship's fateful encounter with an iceberg and Canadians, along with people all around the world, commemorate the lives lost, sacrifices made, and hard lessons gained from this momentous event in our shared history.
Special Features:
- Designed by Canadian artist Yves Berube, the reverse features a finely detailed image of the bow of the colossal vessel as it steams westward on its tragic maiden voyage. Painted North Atlantic waters seem to shimmer and flow in its wake. The iceberg that sealed Titanic's fate lurks in the foreground. The commemorative image also features the words 'R.M.S. Titanic 2012.'
- This silver plated coin features finely detailed engraving that brings the spectacular details of Titanic to life.
- Selective painting lends the image colour and stunning dimensionality.
- A beautiful memorial of a powerful event that continues to capture the world's imagination.
- The perfect gift for Titanic buffs, history enthusiasts, and numismatic collectors seeking unique treasures for their collection.

2011 Canada $20 Silver Coin Will & Kate - Royal Wedding
Click image to view item.
HRH Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton became engaged during a trip to Kenya in October 2010. Prince William carried the engagement ring—a stunning 18-carat sapphire surrounded by fourteen diamonds which had previously belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales—with him. Prince William asked Catherine to marry him in a manner she later said was "very romantic, and...very personal." Clarence House announced the engagement to the world on November 16, 2010.
The bride and groom first met in 2001 while studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. During the course of their four years at St Andrews, the pair grew increasingly closer, and by the time they graduated, in 2005, it was well-known they were a couple. Observers have long speculated the two would marry, and although the engagement came as no surprise, it has elated many as it promises to be the most highly anticipated Royal wedding of recent memory.
On 29 April 2011, people across Britain, the Commonwealth, and the world celebrated this exciting moment together with the newlyweds.

2010 Canada Proof Set '100th Ann. of the Royal Canadian Navy'
Click image to view item.
It was the Second World War that really brought the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) to fruition. More than 120 corvettes were built to become the guardians of the North Atlantic escorting convoys and attacking submarines that had so threatened the fledgling navy during the First World War.
His/Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Sackville was one of the original 1939-40 Flower Class corvettes ordered for the RCN. She was built at Saint John (New Brunswick) and entered service in December 1941. The corvette class, with 122 built in Canada by war’s end, had elevated the RCN to the third largest navy in the World.
HMCS Sackville gained recognition for engaging three U-boats at sea. Although she sustained heavy damage, Sackville was retained for post-war service, first as a training ship and afterwards as a research vessel for the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. In 1982, she was acquired by The Canadian Naval Memorial and reconverted to her original state in 1994. Today, as the last surviving corvette, Sackville serves as The Canadian Naval Memorial, a living museum dedicated to the courageous people who have served in Canada’s navy. She is berthed at the Sackville Landing Wharf, Lower Water Street in Halifax (Nova Scotia).
