Description
The amazing Great Lakes are joined in a vast, continuously flowing waterway system that links the massive bodies of water through a series of channels, ultimately draining into the Atlantic Ocean. This system holds about one-fifth of the planet's fresh water and hosts some of the world's most voluminous lakes. The first coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new series of fine silver enameled coins featuring the amazing Great Lakes - an important and unique Canadian geographical feature. The coin weighs just over one ounce of pure silver. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is HST/GST exempt.
