Like the U.S., Canada discontinued their silver coins in the mid-1960s, making this one of the last silver coins of Canada. Struck in 1964, this also represented the last year of the “young portrait” of Queen Elizabeth. It features “Bluenose,” a schooner that competed in the America’s Cup international fishing competition—and won! Add an elegant bezel to frame this beautiful design and you have another winner—one that is sure to please!
