SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10468 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 10:26 am Not a fake. Note the size (0.5 oz silver). The mint released a "Before Confederation: Colonial Currency of the Atlantic Provinces" in 2018, mintage of 3,000 sets. https://www.colonialacres.com/product-p/166904.htm I would have bought it, but the coins are not true to their original sizes, and it ended up being much too gimmicky for me.

TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 11:48 am I never knew that. Its the first time I have seen one of those. Thanks for the info, SPP. You never cease to surprise me with your knowledge of Canadian coins. Agree, this thing is way gimmicky to put it in a respectable collection. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 12:36 pm I do not have it, but my thought "Why not?" People can get old (or rejected) designs on new freshly minted coins. Just instead RCM, I would design the reverse fully copies the original including year, but the obverse shows the current year of mintage. In the worst case mint the coin as double dated and do not create confusing mix. Report this Post to the Staff
