Long ago, this thread morphed from "sailing ship" coins into one for coins that feature any type of watercraft. Coins with rafts, canoes, modern steam ships, 20th century warships, submarines (!), and others have all been posted. None are sailing ships, but make for some interesting coin designs nonetheless.
I can appreciate how some of these threads have evolved to survive. Otherwise, the may have gone dormant long ago.

All that said, here's a coin from the classic US commemorative series that hasn't been posted yet: 1935 California-Pacific Exposition half dollar (commonly referred to as the "San Diego"). The coin features a small sailing ship on its obverse (at roughly the 9 o'clock position).
Excellent!

Here's a 1999 commemorative silver dollar from Canada marking the 225th Anniversary of the voyage of Juan Perez and the sighting of the Queen Charlotte Islands (off the coast of Canada's British Columbia).

It features a wonderfully-detailed sailing ship on its commemorative reverse.

Here's a commemorative $20 silver coin of Canada that celebrated the International Polar Year of 2007. Canada was one of several countries to issue a commemorative coin for the Polar Year in either 2007 or 2008.

The sailing ship on this coin can be found in the background on its reverse.

If you'd like to learn more about this coin - and the blue plasma version of it - have a look at my previous post about it here: Canada 2007 International Polar Year $20

Here'a another NCLT silver coin from Canada; this $20 piece was issued in 2013 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia.

Louisbourg was a major trading center, host to a very large French military force and the central hub of France's early power in its New France territory.

Here's a 2016 coin from Canada that was issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the successful laying of the first enduring Transatlantic telegraph cable.

The coin depicts the SS Great Eastern, an iron-hulled steamship that incorporated a steam-driven propeller, stem-driven paddle-wheels and six sails for its propulsion. The ship was responsible for laying the cable.

The coin shown here is the selectively gold-plated version found in the Royal Canadian Mint's Fine Silver Proof Set for 2016; the silver dollar was also available individually in a standard proof version.
