I am very fond of ships on coins.

I know that many people share this fondness. I have a few coins depicting ships.

So, I will post a series called "Ships on Coins" and I will show all the coins that I have on this theme.

There will be no order of presentation or country of issue. As the coins are stored in several places, I will simply search on each place and publish those that I found.

The thirty fourth is a 2017 CAD $5 "Voyageur".

This CAD $5 coin has 99.99% pure silver, a metal weight of 31.1g and Brilliant Uncirculated finish. Its mintage was 250,000 units.

It celebrates 150 years of the Federation of Canada.

I know that it is not a ship on a coin, but I think it deserves to be shown here, in this series.

The reverse, engraved by Emanuel Otto Hahn, was taken from the circulating CAD $1 (1953-1966). It shows a voyageur and an aboriginal traveling by canoe, carrying bundles of which one bears the initials "HB" for Hudson's Bay Company.

Thank you for reading. Please comment, upvote, reblog and advise me.
