The Royal Canadian Mint hat geschrieben:Your coin is the first in a series that commemorates wellknown
vessels that have been lost in Canadian waters,
and the stories that have emerged from the events
surrounding their final fate.
• Your coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the
loss of R.M.S. Empress of Ireland as it recreates the
conditions leading up to the worst disaster in Canadian
maritime history
• Engraved at the top of your coin is the ship's bell, which
sat atop one of the ship's masts. It is perhaps the most
well-known artifact to be recovered from the ship's watery
grave.
• Your coin is silver-plated copper with a matte-proof finish
and has a limited worldwide mintage of 15,000.
• Your coin is a prestigious addition to your Canadiana,
history or commemorative display.
