A three-century old design replicated using the technologies of today. Own the replica and the relic.
This modern tribute revisits the 1711 Louis XIV 30 deniers featured on the 2021 Relics of New France gold piece and shows you the other side of the coin: the obverse! The monogram of the long-reigning King Louis XIV has been faithfully re-created on a 5 oz. 99.99% fine silver coin, which is presented alongside a genuine 30-deniers coin that instantly evokes images of life in New France.
Own a replica AND a relic! This two-coin set is an extraordinary tribute to an important coin in Canadian history.
Please note: We worked closely with our dealer network to source the original 30-deniers coins, which came pre-sealed in coin slabs. The coin slabs may have some surface scratches or contain dirt residue from the original coins. Each 30 deniers coin has been authenticated, and given its age, loss of detail is to be expected. We are pleased to offer this unique product as is. If, however, you are not fully satisfied with this unique product, the Royal Canadian Mint's 30-day return policy still applies.
