Canada BC Centenary Dollar 1958

In 1958 this commemorative silver dollar was struck to mark the centenary of British Colombia as a province of Canada. The name was chosen by Queen Victoria herself to distinguish it from American or Southern Colombia, which later became the US State of Oregon. On the reverse side of the coin there is a traditional North West Coast First Nations totem pole with mountains in the background. The coins themselves come in Uncirculated condition and are struck in .800 fine Silver.
