Comment

Laura Secord

Long before her name became synonymous with chocolate, Laura Secord (1775-1868) played a key role in our nation's success in the War of 1812. One day, Laura overheard a conversation between American officers discussing their intention to ambush the British. They were planning to seize an outpost and capture its commander. Laura sets off on a 30-kilometer trek to warn a group of 400 First Nations warriors and Lieutenant James FitzGibbon. Upon arrival at Beaver Dams, the American forces were met by First Nations warriors and 50 British soldiers, and forced to surrender.

Laura Secord

Bien avant que son nom devienne synonyme de chocolat, Laura Secord (1775-1868) joua un rôle essentiel dans le succès remporté par notre nation durant la guerre de 1812. Un jour, Laura surprend une conversation entre des officiers américains qui discutent de leur intention de tendre une embuscade aux Britanniques. Ils projettent de s'emparer d'un avant-poste et de capturer son commandant. Laura entreprend alors de parcourir 30 kilomètres à pied afin d'avertir un groupe de 400 guerriers des Premières Nations ainsi que le lieutenant James FitzGibbon. À leur arrivée à Beaver Dams, les forces américaines sont accueillies par les guerriers des Premières Nations et par 50 soldats britanniques et sont forcées de se rendre.

Emballage
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux rembourré et orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Le boîtier est assortie d'une boîte protectrice spécialement conçue.
