NCLT Sets: A Numbers Game! 1,2,3.go!

Three - Green Four-Leaf Clover

This is to become a gift and RCMs sale of Floating Frames couldn't be better timed because my intention is to perhaps add a Silver Dollar for the birth year of the recipient (4th coin to equal number of leaves) plus a small childhood photo to balance the display. There's a personal significance behind the theme and in my opinion, unique creatives gifts with a symbolic meaning are far more fun to give.

The set consists only of Green coloured clover, and although other mints have issued NCLT with gold coloured clover, but I chose to limit the possibilities to only green.

Four - Heroes of the War of 1812

I've always thought this four-coin set of $4 silver coins honouring four Canadian heroes of the War of 1812 made for a nice commemorative set. An inexpensive yet attractive way to remember the roles of Brock, Tecumseh, Secord and de Salaberry.

The coins are 0.9999 silver, 27 mm in diameter and weigh 7.96 grams (1/4 ounce); they are struck on the same planchet as the $20-for-$20 coins. All four coins were designed by Bonnie Ross.


2012 Sir Isaac Brock




2012 Tecumseh




2013 Laura Secord




2013 Lieutenant Colonel Charles de Salaberry

Liking those clovers, brings back childhood memories of going through clover patches in the front lawn with my Mom trying to find 4 leaf clovers...

Set of Three Commemorative British Columbia Dollars

The Centennial of British Columbia becoming a colony
1858-1958, and the Centennial of British Columbia becoming
a Province 1871-1971. With BC noted on the Reverse of each
of these I thought it was a cool small subset. 1958 is .800
Silver, while 1971 was .500. The 1958 is a PL Strike, and
the 1971 is a toned Specimen, in the 1970's, the packaging
encouraged toning on the unprotected coins. The 1971 Nickel
Proof Like Dollar was a bit smaller in diameter (32.13 mm).

Retro Set of Three

Yes Commems, I thought about adding the
nickel dollar from 1971 but the size difference of the
nickel was not a match.

But with the comment, "brother by another metal",
I can't help but add it, I am within the 24 hours so
see the edited trio.

I also thought that this is the only province that has
received such special treatment.

Thanks darryldarryl!

Anyone have a Northern Lights collection? I've recently noticed the theme has been used more often in the past than I ever realized. I'm thinking it would also serve as an excellent illustration of how RCM's technology has evolved over time.
