Numismatic proof set with silver dollar special edition 2018: 240th anniversary of Captain Cook's arrival in Nootka Sound

In 1778, Captain James Cook's quest for the legendary Northwest Passage led him to the Canadian West Coast, where his month-long stay left an indelible mark on our history. Exclusive to the set, the commemorative proof numismatic dollar features a highly detailed engraved design, enhanced by selective coloring, highlighting the captain, his ship and a Mowachaht chief in the magnificent territory that welcomed their encounter.

Did you know?
James Cook was master of HMS Pembroke during the Seven Years' War, taking part in the siege of Louisbourg and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.
From 1762 to 1768, Captain Cook was the first to map, on a large scale and with scientific precision, the coastal waters of Newfoundland.
George Vancouver was a midshipman on HMS Resolution during James Cook's second voyage, and a member of Discovery's crew on the third. In 1792, the man turned captain returned to Nootka Sound and mapped the coast of British Columbia, including the island that bears his name.
