Comment

The life of Tecumseh (circa 1768-1813) has inspired scholars, artists and poets for 200 years. The death of this great Shawnee chief helped immortalize him as a legendary Canadian hero, which is why it's important never to forget the goal he pursued: to fight courageously to build an independent territory for his people.

Meaning both "shooting star" and "panther ready to pounce", the name Tecumseh was predestined for this man who was a tireless leader and warrior.

Packaging:
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a padded burgundy double-shell case, adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo, and protected by a beautiful custom box.

Tecumseh: tragic hero, fearless warrior, visionary native and inspirational leader.Automatically translated
