Description
Between 2000 and 2003 the Royal Canadian Mint celebrated Canada's 20th-century transport innovations with the Land, Sea, and Rail Transportation Coin Series. Each year featured one coin each for Land (car), Sea (ship), and Rail (train).
The first coin in the series honors the H.S. Taylor Steam Buggy. This $20 special-edition sterling silver coin is designed with a holographic cameo.
The H.S. Taylor Steam Buggy
Built in 1867 by inventor Henry Seth Taylor, this modified horse-drawn carriage stands as Canada’s very first known "horseless carriage." Though Taylor spent years driving his groundbreaking steam buggy across Quebec, his pioneering work went largely unrecognized during his lifetime.
