1 oz $200 Tall Ships – Bluenose – 2016 – RCM .9999

The Bluenose was launched in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, on March 26, 1921. Bringing inexceptionally large catches, she quickly earned the title “Queen of the North Atlantic Fishing Fleet.” In October of that same year, the Bluenose sailed to victory inthe prestigious International Fishermen’s Race—the first in an illustrious racing career that spanned two decades and rarely saw the schooner defeated.

Designed and built by Canadians, she is arguably Canada’s most famous ship and an enduring symbol of the nation’s rich maritime history—one that shines with outstanding detail on the series’ first pure gold coin.
