Our second tall ship has all the sails and spars it could carry. Order Coin #2 today!
With its iconic triangular staysails and square-rigged sails on all three (or more) masts, a full-rigged ship-like the one featured on the second Tall Ships pure gold coin-inspires a sense of dignified magnificence. That full complement of sails, so beautifully depicted on your coin's reverse, makes it ideal for hauling goods and people over great distances and across deep seas, even in unpredictable conditions. The full-rigged ships of the 18th, 19th, and even 20th centuries facilitated the development of Canada-from the frigates built to defend these shores, to the cargo-carrying ships that supplied this fledgling nation.
Grow your fleet by adding a second Tall Ships coin to your collection.
