1/2 oz Pure Gold Coin - Tall Ships: Brigantine - Mintage: 1,200 (2022)

The backbone of Canada’s marine industry in the 19ᵗʰ century, the brigantine was the versatile workhorse that plied the coastal trade routes and sailed on the high seas. This tall ship is distinguished by a fully square-rigged foremast and a fore-and-aft mainsail—a combination that made it easier to manoeuvre in rivers and along our eastern coastline, where the busy shipyards, ports and harbours connected us to the world.
