Proof Silver Dollar - 100th Anniversary of Parks Canada (2011)

 

Parks Canada's leadership role in conserving and educating about Canada's flora and fauna. Four endangered ecological treasures are cradled in the hands of a young Canadian: a Whooping Crane (Grus americana), the Southern Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris), a Western Fringed Prairie Orchid (Platanthera praeclara) and a Kentucky Coffee Tree (Gymnocladus dioicus).

 

This exciting new Silver Dollar is available in a proof and brilliant uncirculated finish, as well as in a selectively gold-plated version found exclusively in the Mint's 2011 proof set. These 2011 silver dollar products are available online through the Mint’s website or directly from the Mint at 1-800-267-1871 in Canada, 1-800-268-6468 in the US. The coins are also available at the Royal Canadian Mint's boutiques in Ottawa and Winnipeg, in some Canada Post offices.

Parks Canada is a great organization! Although it should be from the Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador (not PEI). Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site near St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador is the most easterly point in Canada. Its also part of one of the most popular shore excursions in St. John's.

Yes it is.

 

P E I ( Potholes Every Inch ) was St John Island too.

 

Thank you for showing the correction.

 

:cool:
