A RARE CANADIAN GOLD COIN GIFT! 2006 RCM Annual Report Table 4, Pg. The coin is encapsulated and set into the beautiful original RCM case that was made for it--a square, red plastic case with black insert and outer black box. This is the FIRST issue of the four-year program commemorating Canadian Commerce. The fur trade began almost by accident as explorers exchanged goods with Natives they met while searching for a trade route to China. This beautiful Proof Gold coin is the perfect way to commemorate the beginning of the fur trade. Europe's increasing demand for Canadian beaver pelts began, and trading posts were springing up along the St. But control meant wealth, and some traders decided to go directly to the source rather than wait for the furs to come to them.

The lure of the massive canoes transcended class and social status as hundreds of men climbed aboard to head into the unknown for months, even years. Paddling up to 90 strokes per minute, they traveled thousands of kilometers, circumventing perilous rapids by loading each man with 200 lbs (90 Kg) of cargo to carry across countless portages. Bear fat, corn, and pemmican were their staples and they had little more than the trees to shield them from the elements and the unrelenting flies. Known as coureurs de bois or voyageurs, the 2005 22-Karat Gold Coin captures the essence of their adventurous lives, the spirit of those brave men who helped to shape a nation.
