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 fifth coin in the series honors the Marco Polo. This $20 special-edition sterling silver coin is designed with a holographic cameo.

 

The Marco Polo

Built in Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1851 by James Smith, the record-breaking Marco Polo earned the title "Queen of the Seas" for her unmatched speed. She set a new speed record on her maiden voyage by sailing from Canada to England in just 15 days, and later shattered the round-trip world record between England and Australia by a full week.
