I am very fond of ships on coins.
I know that many people share this fondness. I have a few coins depicting ships.
So, I will post a series called "Ships on Coins" and I will show all the coins that I have on this theme.
There will be no order of presentation or country of issue. As the coins are stored in several places, I will simply search on each place and publish those that I found.
The fourth is a CAD $1 1987 "John Davis".
It weights 23.3g with 50% silver purity and Proof finish. Its mintage was 405,688 units and the issue price was CAD $19.00.
It commemorates the 400th anniversary of John Davis' historic exploration of Baffin Island, the Davis Strait and the Gulf of Cumberland.
The reverse design is the work of Christopher Gorey of Nova Scotia and depicts a vessel of the 16th century with an iceberg in the background.
