During the American War of Independence, thousands of Black Loyalists came to British North America (now Canada) and put down roots. The hardships suffered and endured are a reminder of how complex our history. Ask anyone in a Canadian school about black history in Canada and most would be surprised to learn that slavery was legal in what is now Canada until the mid 1830’s – just a few decades before the President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. This pure silver coin was created to honour their triumphs and tribulations and includes the armorial bearings of the Black Loyalist Heritage Society. This would be a great gift for any coin or history buff, especially during Black History Month! Mintage: Only 5500 WORLDWIDE (this is number 4829).
