The 2022 Commemorating Black History coin honours the flight to freedom of those who \"rode\" the Underground Railroad to Canada, a safe haven after slavery was abolished here on August 1, 1834.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the early 1800s through 1865, at least 30,000 enslaved people of African descent fled to British North America by way of a covert network of routes and safe houses. Many of these freedom seekers-men, women and children-travelled by foot, and often at night to avoid re-capture. Once in Canada, they found refuge in Black communities and settled in parts of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where they were secure in their freedom, but not free from discrimination. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCelebrate Black History year-round with this heartfelt tribute to the freedom seekers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew release for black history month. This is the fourth coin in our annual Commemorating Black History series, which honours the legacy of Black people in Canada whose achievements and struggles are an important part of Canada's story.\u003cbr\u003eA powerful theme. A powerful addition to any collection, this is the first RCM coin commemorating the Underground Railroad. Canada was regarded as a safe haven after slavery was abolished throughout the British Empire on August 1, 1834 (August 1 is Emancipation Day in Canada), and it was the terminus for at least 30,000 enslaved people, believed to be as many as 100,000, who travelled the Underground Railroad. \u003cbr\u003eIncludes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins, including this one, which has a limited mintage of just 5,500 coins worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785042014283,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.003190 - BC2229","price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_ff8fc291-5757-4ed0-8c1e-a7e6804503ad.jpg?v=1717053894","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2022-d20-the-underground-railroad-black-history-pf-1_009oz_-_9999-bc2229","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
