Yet another fur cap from the classic US commemorative series. This time it's the 1925 Vancouver Centennial half dollar. The Fort Vancouver Centennial half dollar was struck to mark the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Fort Vancouver on the north side of the Columbia River in what is now Vancouver, Washington (just north of Portland, Oregon). The fort served as a trading post for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) which administered Britain's interests in the area; the area was jointly occupied by British and American frontiersmen, trappers and settlers. 1925 Vancouver Centennial Half Dollar  Check out my previous posts on the Vancouver half dollar at Read More: Commems Collection
