22-Karat Gold Coin à Agriculture Trade (2008)
This exquisite 22-karat gold coin is a unique and incomparable tribute to agriculture, one of Canada's founding and defining industries. Coaxing essential foodstuffs from the ground has been a major preoccupation since time immemorial. Canada's first pioneers were undeterred by this challenging land and managed to transform sustenance farming into one of the nation's major industries - with little or no mechanization and horses as their only power supply.
Highlights
Every detail is crafted to ultra-crisp perfection andonly 4,000 coins are available worldwide-a must-have acquisition for coin collectors.
Reverse
A typical farming scene from the 1920's à a farmer plowing his field with a two-horse team.
