Comment

Oil has been in common use since the earliest days of colonization in North America. But there was no thought of extracting it from the Canadian subsoil, until huge deposits of bitumen were discovered in Alberta. In 1858, the first oil field opened in Oil Springs, Ontario.

The advent of the railroad revolutionized transportation. In terms of safety and efficiency, no horse-drawn carriage could compete with a tank wagon for delivering large volumes of oil. In just a few decades, the rise of the automobile and the farm tractor caused demand to explode. Oil became a necessity of daily life, a global reality that made Canada one of the world's leading producers of black gold.

Features: Artistic hand-crafting combines with the precision of advanced techniques to accentuate the pattern and cut the relief of this piece, which is further distinguished by a laser-blackening effect, so appropriate to one of Canada's founding activities. Struck in 22-carat gold and limited to just 4,000 pieces, this sixth issue in the series will be highly prized by collectors. Automatically translated

Le pétrole est un produit d’usage courant dès les débuts de la colonisation en Amérique du Nord. Mais on ne songe pas à l’extraire du sous-sol canadien, jusqu’à ce qu’on découvre d’énormes gisements de bitume en Alberta. En 1858, la première exploitation pétrolière ouvre à Oil Springs, en Ontario.

Puis l’avènement du chemin de fer révolutionne les transports. En fait de sûreté et d’efficacité, aucune voiture à chevaux ne rivalise plus avec un wagon-citerne pour livrer un gros volume de pétrole. En quelques décennies, l’essor de l’automobile et du tracteur agricole fait exploser la demande. Le pétrole s’impose comme une nécessité de la vie quotidienne, une réalité mondiale qui a fait du Canada un des principaux producteurs de l’or noir.

Particularités : La confection artistique à la main s’allie à la précision de techniques perfectionnées pour accentuer le motif et découper le relief de cette pièce, qui se distingue encore par un effet de noircissement au laser, si approprié à l’une des activités fondatrices du Canada. Frappée dans l’or 22 carats et tirée à seulement 4 000 exemplaires, cette sixième émission de la série sera très prisée des collectionneurs.
