Canada, Canadian Father & Daughter Dollars

We thought that we would jazz things up a bit so here goes. King George VI was well-loved in Canada, a place that the Royal Family loves. Therefore we're offering the last George VI Canadian Silver Dollar, issued in 1952, but in uncirculated condition of course. This coin holds a unique history of the money of Canada issued during King George VI reign.

In 1926 British West Africa still existed and in 1926 Princess Elizabeth was born. British West Africa struck a small coin with a star on it and a hole in the center. Not planed that way but what a wonderful coincident.A coin with a star to celebrate her birthday. The coin from the year of our Queen’s birth (1926) has a denomination of 1/10th of a Penny. The hole was so the natives who did not have pockets, could thread the coins on string and wear them around their necks. They wore their tributes to their future Queen. These coins are in Uncirculated condition but have toned down a bit over the past 95 years. They look great but are in short supply.

This Danish silver crown was issued in the 1960’s when a crownsized piece was 10 Kroner; today similar sized pieces have a face value of 200 Kroner. It just goes to show what inflation will do to money. It is struck in 800 fine Silver and is in Uncirculated condition. It was struck in 1968 for the wedding of Princess Benedikte.
