For those who don't know, the story of H.M.S. Shannon and U.S.S. Chesapeake:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captur...S_Chesapeake

Shannon's first lieutenant was Provo Wallis of Halifax, Nova Scotia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provo_Wallis

Admiral of the Fleet Sir Provo Wallis probably had the longest official service in the history of the Royal Navy (1795-1892).

A fine subject for commemoration.

I'm sure a limited circulation run will be issued, but I wouldn't count on being able to located a roll.


Thanks for your input.

Plus I see the mint is only selling these to Canadians (or people living in Canada) so if you are in fact living in Germany it will probably make it all that harder to get you hands on them.


Indeed, I live in Germany. It's usually not ''hard'' to get canadian coins -- but sometimes rather ''expensive''

I don't know how easy it would be to get a roll, but the Mint had a booth set up in downtown Toronto yesterday and they had bowls full of these where people could come and exchange coins or bills for a couple of the toonies.

I managed to pick up two full rolls :D not exactly sure what I'm going to do with them...

I'm not sure if they are still doing it today, but yesterday it was in First Canadian Place, underground level, close to HMV and Harry Rosen. There was another thread here about it

I wonder if the "2012 Special Edition Uncirculated Set for only $14.95" will be a set with the new Twoonie and the new quarters. Time will tell I suppose.
