Bilbo bucks

New Zealand

honours The Hobbit movie.

By Bret Evans

As time ticks away for the 1-cent coin, the govern-

ment has authorized the Min-istry of Finance to buy the coin back from financial institu-tions.

A cabinet order in Decem-ber, to “support an orderly pace of withdrawal” of the coin, has shed some light on how the coin will be pulled out of circulation.

While Royal Canadian Mint official Alex Reeves said the details had not yet been com-pleted, the order does confirm that the Mint will be reim-bursed for its handling costs.

The coin will retain its legal tender status, but it is ex-pected that from Feb. 4 on, coins turned into financial in-stitutions such as banks will be withdrawn from circula-tion. If any remaining stock of the coin remains at the Mint or in the coin distribution sys-tem, they will also be re-turned. Banks have been re-quested to stop issuing 1-cent coins on that day.

In all likelihood, the sur-plus coins will be defaced and melted, possibly under the mechanism of the Mint’s alloy-recovery program,

Government to compensate banks for 1-cent cull

By Bret Evans

The Reserve Bank of Fiji has rolled out the island nation’s newest coins, all made in Can-ada.

The new coins, in values of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents as well as $1 and $2, are made using the Royal Canadian Mint’s plating process.

The coins, for the most part, feature local flora and fauna. The $2 coin replaces the $2 bank-note. The Government of Fiji ap-proved eliminating the note in favour of the coin in 2011. That year it also approved the new

coin designs, which are the first Fijian coins to not feature an ef-figy of Queen Elizabeth II.

In recent years, Fiji has elimi-nated both the 1- and 2-cent coins.

At the same time, new banknotes in values of $2 to $100 also feature flora and fauna, in place of Queen Eliza-beth II, who appeared in the earlier series. The new notes were printed by De La Rue Currency, an international se-curity printer based in Britain.

Fiji originally issued coins based on the Fijian pound, con-

verting to a decimal system in 1969. At that time, Fiji was still classified as a colony. It became a dominion within the Com-monwealth of Nations in 1970. While it was not a member of Commonwealth of Nations from 1990 to 1996, it still issued coins and notes with the Queen’s effigy.

In 2009 Fiji, was suspended from the Commonwealth after Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama refused to hold elections demanded by the Commonwealth after a 2006 coup. W

Fiji unveils made-in-Canada circulating coinage

The newest circulating coins from Fiji were struck by the Royal Canadian Mint using its patented plating process.

Ian E. Bennett, right, Royal Canadian Mint president and CEO, shows Canada’s last 1-cent circulation coin, struck by Jim Flaherty, left, minister of finance, in Winnipeg, Man., on May 4. The coin will be entrusted to the Bank of Canada Currency Museum in Ottawa.

Canada’s $20 for $20 canoe voted best silver pieceBy Bret Evans

The Royal Dutch Mint’s QR code-enabled €5 silver

coin captivated an interna-tional panel of judges, who voted it the 2013 Krause Publi-cations Coin of the Year (COTY).

The coin was chosen from among 10 category winners.

The Netherlands piece en-tered the finals after winning the Most Innovative coin cate-gory in the first round of vot-ing on Nov. 30. The QR (Quick Response) code on the reverse can be scanned with a smart-

phone for more information about the coin and to access a game. It is the first coin to use such technology. The game is played using the smartphone’s Augmented Reality feature.

The theme of the 2011-dated coin is the 100th anniversary of the building of the Royal Dutch Mint’s present facility. All of the coins in contention were issued with 2011 dates.

The 2013 COTY awards will be presented Feb. 2 at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany. Trophies will be pre-sented to the Coin of the Year Award winner and to the 10 category winners.

The category winners follow.The award of Most Histori-

cally Significant coin was won by the National Bank of the

Kyrgyz Republic for its 10-som silver coin commemorating the Silk Road.

Best Contemporary Event coin was awarded to the Aus-

trian Mint for its €25 silver and niobium coin celebrating the evolution of robotics.

The South African Mint was awarded the honour of Best Gold coin, for its 50-rand piece featuring the meerkat. It is part of the SA Mint’s Natura series entitled “Nature’s Families.”

The Royal Canadian Mint claimed the award for Best Sil-ver coin for its $20 silver coin featuring a canoe in the water and its reflection.

Monnaie de Paris will take home the award for Best Crown coin. The €10 silver coin is the second issue in a new series called “From Clovis to Republic – 1500 Years of French History.” It was created by famed fashion designer Christian Lacroix, and features C h a r l e m a g n e , w h o w a s crowned the first Holy Roman emperor in AD 800.

Best Trade coin was awarded to the National Bank of Lithu-ania for a 1-litas copper-nickel coin honouring basketball.

The eyes have it as judges selected a 500-tugrik Mongo-lian silver coin in the Most Popular coin category. It fea-tures a design of an owl with eyes made of crystal.

The Most Artistic coin was awarded to the Bank of Latvia. The winning coin is a square, 1-lats silver piece honouring the artist Alexandrs Caks.

Topping the Most Inspira-tional coin category was a coin from the Mint of Poland. The 10-zlotych silver coin marks the 100th anniversary of the Society for the Protection of the Blind.

The Coin of the Year pro-gram was created by Krause Publications’ World Coin News, sister publication to Numis-matic News. The awards were first given in 1984. When it created the award, Krause Publications said that it hoped the awards would help en-courage the mints of the world to produce better and better coinage and encourage artistic creativity and innovation. It is clear from this year’s winner that innovation was a primary consideration.

An international panel of judges, including authors, editors, numismatists and members of the American Numismatic Association, vote on the nominees. Canadian Coin News managing editor and associate publisher Bret Evans represents Canada on the panel.

While the canoe coin was Canada’s only category win-ner, Canadian coins earned five other nominations:

The silver $1 marking the 100th anniversary of Canada Parks was nominated for the Most Historically Significant coin.

In the Best Gold Coin cate-gory, the $200 Mountie on horseback was nominated.

The nominees for Most Ar-tistic coin included Canada’s silver $5 Fall Moon.

Canada was represented by two coins in the Most Inspira-

tional coinage category: the $3 bimetallic silver Es-

kimo mother and child and the gold $5 coin

honouring Norman Bethune. W

Coin of the Year judges scan Dutch coin as top choice

The Royal Canadian Mint’s

$20 for $20 canoe coin was voted the

Best Silver coin of 2011.

The United States Mint has unveiled the designs of the America the Beautiful quarters program and presidential dol-lars in its 2013 circulating com-memorative coin program.

The five new reverse designs on the America the Beautiful quarters pay homage to New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest; Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memo-rial in Ohio; Nevada’s Great Basin National Park; Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Mary-land; and Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.

Designed by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Phebe Hemphill, the White Mountain National Forest coin depicts an iconic view of Mount Choc-orua, the easternmost peak of the Sandwich Range, framed by birch trees.

The Perry’s Victory and In-ternational Peace Memorial de-sign, created by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Don Everhart, depicts the statue of Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry with the Peace Memorial located in the dis-tance. The memorial is one of the tallest of its kind in the U.S.

The reverse of the Great Ba-sin National Park coin shows a bristlecone pine tree and the

rocky glacial moraines where the trees grow. These trees grow at higher elevation in the park and are some of the world’s oldest. The park con-tains many groves with trees older than 4,000 years. The de-sign was create by U.S. Mint associate designer Ronald D. Sanders and executed by sculp-tor-engraver Renata Gordon.

Designed by U.S. Mint sculptor-engraver Joseph Menna, the Fort McHenry Na-

tional Monument and Historic Shrine coin shows the site dur-ing Maryland’s Defenders Day celebration, considered the centrepiece annual event held at Fort McHenry. The fireworks symbolize the “rocket’s red glare.”

The reverse of the coin for the Mount Rushmore National Memorial was inspired by pho-tos of men adding the final de-tails to Thomas Jefferson’s face.

A silver coin €5 coin from the Dutch Mint, Krause Publications’ Most Innovative coin of 2011, thanks to its scannable QR code, is also Coin of the Year.

Circulating America the Beautiful and presidential coins unveiled


The America the Beautiful quarters for 2013 depict New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest; Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial in Ohio; Nevada’s Great Basin National Park; Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Maryland; and Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.

The impending removal of the 1-cent coin from circulation, while inevita-

ble, is still lamentable for coin collectors.For the first time in living memory,

an entire coin denomination will cease to exist. It may be a bit of a stretch to compare this with the introduction of decimal currency of the 1850s, but in the more than 150 years since decimal coins became legal tender, there has al-ways been a 1-cent coin.

I remember assembling date sets of 1-cent coins out of the family penny hoard. The collection was only worth face value, but it was fun and may in some way contribute to where I am now. It is a memory I am sure most of my readers share.

But some of the talk surrounding the coin is just plain foolishness. Just because the coin is being taken out of circulation does not mean the word

cent, or penny, is being expunged from the English language. I am also quite confident that in most cases it will be impossible for any business to effec-tively manipulate price-rounding to their advantage, since purchases are usually made up of several items.

But I do see a positive aspect of this for coin collecting.

As the deadline draws near, there is bound to be more talk and speculation about how this works. Members of the

general public are going to wonder about the rounding off, and if their little hoard of 1-cent coins will become valuable. There will also be the usual misinformation implying that the coin was first made in 1908, as opposed to first made in Canada that year.

Mainstream journalists are often amazingly uninformed about coins and their history.

Here is where I see the opportunity.Local newspapers and radio stations

will be following this story as a matter of national news interest. They will be very receptive to the idea of running a local angle on this big story, such as the inclusion of an interview with a local coin expert who can provide ac-curate information and speak authori-tatively on the subject. Such an expert could very well be a representative of the local coin club.

No, I don’t think it is the place for coin clubs to speak about the govern-ment’s reasons, or even to say that withdrawing the coin is a good thing. That is a matter of personal opinion, but it is a chance for the local club to get some free publicity.

I encourage every coin club out there to take advantage of this oppor-tunity to promote themselves. Try to set up an interview with local media, and when you do, don’t forget to men-tion where and when the local club meets. W

Hobby can benefit from penny’s doom

DEVIl RESuRFACES?Dear Editor:Looking at the new $20 notes I no-

ticed that if one looks at the Queen’s frontal hairline, I swear I see horns.

You have to look directly above the hairline to see the little horns on the left and right. Seems that the little devil took 58 years to resurface.

We have to be honest, we don’t see any sign of the imp.

A PENNY SAVED …Dear Editor:I’m living the most exciting times as a

penny collector (errors, varieties, old ones and exceptional finish etc.)

We all know that the penny’s “days” are numbered. Many people think that in 2013, pennies will be worthless, so they bring them to their bank or credit union. I have made arrangements with a few of them; they keep the coins for

me and once a week I buy what they have. Since the end of August I have bought more than 10 boxes.

I think that some peoples are selling the coins they were keeping for years.For example, today I’ve found an Indian Head 1899 in G-6, two George V and two full rolls of George VI, a real trip 50 years back to the past. I also have many “er-rors,” including three struck off the col-lar, two partial clips and many full clips. I plan to keep “harvesting” as long as the banks will permit me. I wish you and your team a happy Christmas holiday.

Thanks,Anonymous

Sounds like a real collecting windfall!

RElEASE OF GOlD HOARD PROMPTS OuTRAGE

Dear Editor:I just received news that the Bank of

Canada has just released 30,000 Cana-dian gold coins in Mint State condition from 1912 to 1914. I am now wondering what my 1913 $5 MS-63 is worth.

What I know is that I have surely overpaid for the coin considering that there are 30,000 more of these Mint State coins out on the market.

I am totally pissed. The Bank of Canada, through the Royal Canadian Mint, has just destroyed the hobby for the serious collector. These coins should have been melted down and turned into bricks. When did the Bank of Canada get into the coin-dealing business?

The big question now is: “What other hoard is the Bank of Canada sit-ting on?” The other question is: “Who is benefitting financially from this pro-cess?” I know for sure that NGC (whose logo is on the special holder for these coins) and the Royal Cana-dian Mint are. What dealers knew of this information and failed to reveal the true population of these coins? Did the Bank of Canada earn a profit on the transaction? Other questions: “What about the person who paid $10,000 for a 64?”; and “Can the Bank

Although every artist creates a num-ber of drafts of potential coin de-

sign ideas, you might say Donald D. Paterson took it to an extreme.

When he decided to accept an invita-tion from the Royal Canadian Mint to submit a design for the 1975 silver dol-lar that would commemorate the 100th anniversary of the City of Calgary, he

drew numerous original thumbnail sketches nearly four inches in diameter. He selected views of chuckwagons and riders on a horse in various poses, a few of which are illustrated.

Although he also considered other topics such as oil derricks and Fort Calgary, ultimately, he felt that the world-renowned Calgary Stampede

would make a better subject. He settled for the rider on a bucking horse rather than the other popular sight at the an-nual Calgary Stampede, the chuck-wagon.

He drew two sketches, the first one rather rough and the second much more refined.

He also drew a very detailed horse and rider to submit with his proposal.

His design was selected over all other proposals. What made it even more spectacular for Paterson, as he told me, was the fact that it was his first-ever submission of a coin design! W

MORE ENHANCED COINSCongratulations to the Royal Dutch

Mint on winning the Coin of the Year. We should mention that in addition to the winning coin designs, the Mint has also struck an augmented reality 5-florin silver coin for the Central Bank of Aruba. That coin depicts the Aruban burrowing owl, recently named the nation’s national symbol. Smartphone users can access the coin’s augmented reality features after downloading the free Layar app.

ANTHONY JOINS CCGCertified Collectibles Group (CCG)

has hired Peter Anthony as an analyst and consultant. Anthony is an expert on modern Chinese coins and will con-sult on those coins as well as work on Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC)’s Chinese coin price guide.

COllECTING BIG IN KOREANGC recently partnered with fel-

low CCG companies Numismatic

Conservations Services and Paper Money Guaranty, to attend the 2012 Korean Money Fair, held in Seoul, South Korea. The market in the coun-try has been growing, and not only were most of the coins sold at the auc-tion held in conjunction with the show in NGC holders, but PMG announced that it has now graded more than 60,000 South Korean notes.

VEISSID HEADS NuMISMATIC DIVISION

Meanwhile, Spink has also an-nounced an appointment. Mike Veis-sid will become head of the firm’s nu-mismatic division, based in London, England. Veissid started as a cata-loguer at Sotheby’s and then operated his own gallery, which was acquired by Spink in 2007.

BRITS lAuNCH VAulTThe British Royal Mint has an-

nounced the launch of a security bul-lion vault facility. The vault, which

can be used to store bullion coins pur-chased for the mint and LBMA (Lon-don Bullion Market Association) Good Delivery gold bars, is under constant guard by Ministry of Defence employ-ees at a highly secure site. In addition to traditional sovereigns, the mint also strikes .999 silver and .9999 gold Bri-tannia coins.

GOlD GROWTHIn recent years the popularity of

gold investing, and the desire of many investors to acquire physical holdings of the metal, has created a minor growth industry in gold deposits. In Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint of-fers a program where investors can purchase gold or silver, which is held in the Mint’s vaults.

BuT WE HAVE TO WONDER…Writing about the secure site, we

have to wonder: Wasn’t the Ministry of Defence also the body responsible for protecting Austin Powers’ Mojo?

DID YOu KNOW?While the RCM will be melt-

ing down 1-cent coins, we have two good reasons why you may not want to melt down coins yourself. First off, it takes a lot of heat, the melting point of copper is approximately 1,000 C. The other reason is that you can go to jail. The Currency Act specifies a fine of $250 and/or a year in jail.

Bromberg marks 20 years on The Shopping ChannelBy Bret Evans

What started out as a “whim” has turned into

a 20-year venture for Rich-mond Hill, Ont., coin dealer Steven Bromberg, who just marked 20 years of selling coins on The Shopping Chan-nel.

“It was really on a whim when I first approached The Shopping Channel,” Coin Show host Bromberg said. “I made a call and got right through to one of the buyers, something that would proba-bly never happen that way now.”

It was late 1992, and Brom-berg’s idea was to sell collec-tions of “Canada 125” 25-cent coins, packaged in a board with a map of Canada. He was then a practicing lawyer and part-time coin dealer. He was not the only one selling boards, but he was the one to

go to The Shopping Channel with the idea.

“I thought it would be a good way to introduce new people to collecting,” he said.

The buyer liked the idea, and shortly afterward, the first 100 sets were offered. Bromberg put the sets to-gether in his house.

The sets sold out in just sec-onds, and the channel asked if he could come up with a further 1,000 sets.

This time the Bromberg house became a temporary production facility. The dealer called in friends, family, and neighbours to help. The third order was for 5,000 sets.

By the end of the year, Bro-mberg had sold 80,000 sets. The Shopping Channel was eager for more coin products. Since then, there has been no looking back.

In the past year, Bromberg said he filled orders for 75,000 individual buyers through the channel. Those orders range from inexpensive items to some rather pricey collec-tions.

Bromberg once put together a history of Canadian paper money. The collection was sold in two parts, one up to 1935 and one from 1937 to present day.

“It was really comprehen-sive and included the $1,000 notes,” he explained.

The sets were priced at more than $12,000 for each part, and while only a few sets were offered, they all sold.

Bromberg said he believes in keeping it simple.

He explains the terminol-ogy in clear language and tells people exactly what they are buying. While some items are sold in third-party holders, the emphasis is on the story, not on condition rarity, and grading terms are always ex-plained.

The Shopping Channel vice-president of marketing Michael LeBlanc said that is one of the hallmarks of the coin show.

LeBlanc said that while the channel does offer other col-lectibles, coins are the most

successful, something he cred-its largely to Bromberg.

“He is the one with the vi-sion,” LeBlanc said. “He is very enthusiastic and able to tell the story. We are able to bring his message to a huge audience across Canada.”

Bromberg points out that the show has evolved dramat-ically since the early days.

When he first started the show, the network’s licence did not allow it to broadcast moving images. Instead a sort of snapshot was taken every three seconds. Between takes, while they were talking, Bro-mberg and his co-hosts were able to amuse themselves by walking about or pulling faces on each other, as long as they were back in place for the next snap.

Even that didn’t deter his enthusiasm, but then his vi-sion is more than just selling coins; he believes in promot-ing collecting and knowl-edge.

Bromberg points out that the coins he sells on the show are attractively packaged and in most cases come with book-lets giving some background and historical context.

“I have to show why it is so great,” he explains, “because the objects need a bit of help to speak.”

He also points out that over the 20 years he has brought a lot of people into the hobby of coin collecting.

“When I go to a coin show I always meet people who started out on The Shopping Channel,” he said.

Dealing in such large vol-umes means that he gets op-portunities that never would have come his way as a part-time coin dealer.

He recently had the oppor-tunity to purchase a hoard of “several hundred thousand” large cents.

The owner had inherited them from his father, who had purchased them in 1921, when they were being re-placed by large cents. For the better part of a century they had sat, waiting for a home. The owner had called and said he had a pickup truck worth of the coins to sell.

“When he told me I thought he was exaggerating,” Brom-berg said. “Then he showed up with the truck.”

The coins were sold in mixed lots of 1,000 coins.

While the Royal Canadian Mint experimented with sell-ing coins on The Shopping Channel, today it is Bromberg representing the hobby.

Among his recent offerings were the silver beaver coins in one- and f ive-ounce weights.

While not the only dealer selling the coins, Bromberg was the only one offering them on the channel.

“We sold 800 one-ounce and 250 five-ounce coins in one day.”

Today, he sees a long and bright future with The Shop-ping Channel, largely based on his approach.

“We offer real collectible items,” he said. “I will not sell items that are not real collect-ibles.

“I see people in the States selling things like Silver Ma-ple Leaf coins in homemade MS-70 holders. We will never do something like that.” W

Earlier this year, the S.S. Keewatin regained its glory

in Port McNicoll, Ont., on the shores of beautiful Georgian Bay, after it spent the last 46 years in Michigan as a mari-time museum.

Older than the Titanic and considered the last Edward-ian steamship left in the world, the Keewatin will be-come a floating restaurant and community centre in Port McNicoll.

The Keewatin plied the wa-ters of the Great Lakes for about 60 years. People head-ing west would take the Ca-nadian Pacific train to Port McNicoll, where they would board the Keewatin for the trip to Thunder Bay, where they would transfer back to a train for the balance of the trip west.

Built in 1905 by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering in Scotland for CP Rail, some of the Keewatin’s characteris-tics were modelled by the Ti-tanic, including the staircase, Marconi room and the steam engines.

Going back a little further, the St. Lawrence River system was vibrant with various

modes of boat traffic in the early 19th century. Not only had canoes largely disap-peared, but the small flat-bot-tomed freight boats called ba-teau were replaced by Dur-ham boats, capable of carry-ing five to 10 times the freight of the bateau. They were joined by an increasing num-ber of commercial sloops and schooners.

In 1809, John Molson’s Ac-commodation became the first steamboat on the St. Lawrence travelling between Montreal and Quebec. Four years later, the Accommodation was joined on this route by sister ship the Swiftsure. By 1821, the St. Lawrence Steamboat Com-pany (Molson Line) and a competing firm had a com-bined six steamboats on the run between Montreal and Quebec.

The steamship Lauzon sailed between Quebec and Point Levi. Lead tokens (Breton No. 560) used as tick-ets were sold by the propri-etors. The obverse illustrates a steamboat facing left with the word “LAUZON” around the top of the rim and date of 1821 located below the ship.

The reverse is comprised solely of inscription. The leg-end “BON POUR HIT SOLS” is found around the rim and words “FOUR/PENCE/TO-KEN” are on three lines in the centre of the field. A small or-nament is below.

An article entitled “The Quebec ferry token” in the July 1874 issue of the Canadian Antiquarian and Numismatic Journal provides an account of this token. The article relies on a presentation made by a Dr. W. Marsden to the Liter-ary and Historical Society of Quebec. “These tokens were sold in an office on Goudie’s Wharf (afterwards Gibb’s), near (a floating slip) leading down to the Steam Ferry Boat Lauzon built and owned by the late John Goudie,” Mars-den said. “The ferry boat, which was square at both ends, landed end on end at the floating slip.”

The business was acquired by James McKenzie,, who eventually sold it to J. Thomp-son. The Charlton reference lists three varieties, each of

which represents issuance by one of the three owners: those counterstamped “J McK”; those counterstamped “J T”; and those with no counter-stamp.

The 1874 article described this token as “excessively rare,” borne out today by the Charlton catalogue, which lists values in VG at $2,500 with no counterstamp, $2,000 for the “J McK” counterstamp and $3,000 for the “J T” coun-terstamp.

This token is not without controversy. In a 1912 article entitled, “Address to the ANA (American Numismatic Asso-ciation),” R.W. McLachlan al-leged that there were forgeries of the Lauzon token.

“The Lauzon Quebec ferry token … being in white metal, readily lends itself to the forg-er’s wiles,” the numismatist wrote. “The process followed is the same as that by which counterfeit silver is made – that is, casting in an alloy of bismuth and tin in plaster moulds made from a genuine specimen.”

The copper Halifax Steam-boat Company token (Breton No. 900) is another example of an iconic transportation token. Established in 1817, this firm assumed operation of the ferry route connecting Halifax and Dartmouth.

The obverse is graced by a majestic steam ship, while the i n s c r i p t i o n “ H A L I FA X STEAMBOAT COMPANY” is around the rim. The reverse contains the words “FERRY / TOKEN” on two lines.

Once unique for it’s rarity, this changed in 1886 when a hoard was discovered.

The October 1886 issue of the American Journal of Numis-matics and Bulletin of American Numismatics and Archaeological Societies described how this occurred.

“In demolishing the old Toll H o u s e o f t h e H a l i f a x Dartmouth Ferriage Co., a number of copper coins were discovered under a board be-low the till used for small change by the ferry master. Among these were 25 of the old ferry tokens of the com-pany, and a few of the White’s farthings, all in beautiful bright red condition. These must have fallen through a small crack in the bottom of the till, and laid undisturbed for many years.”

This is a paramount exam-ple of how the discovery of a cache of tokens can not only provide new details, but also affect their value.

While legendary steamboats come and go, the gripping to-kens outlined here ensure that their legacy continues. W

While the main focus of this Canadian decimal Key

Date column is coins that could be in your pocket, either now, or at the point in time when they were struck, some non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) items are worth discussion here.

Some collectors specialize in unusual coins that cannot be found by any other route or source. A good friend and el-derly man known well by this writer is a regular purchaser of 50-cent coin rolls from Colonial Acres, which annually buys all the available rolls of all avail-able circulating denomina-tions.

This past year, a selectively gold-plated 1812 commemora-tive silver dollar was found only in the seven-coin Proof set.

In 2003, a selectively gold-plated 1-cent coin was only available for purchase as a pre-mium for purchasing the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2003 annual report, titled Making Change, for $19.95 plus shipping.

Throughout the world of corporate investor relations, this writer knows of no other corporation that “sells” its cor-porate annual report, with the lone exception of Berkshire Hathaway, the Omaha, Neb.-based holding company of in-vestment guru Warren Buffet. So many business school stu-dents used to request free cor-porate information from Berk-shire Hathaway, that even business school libraries are now forced to buy one share of Berkshire Hathaway, or receive only the online filings from EDGAR, the website of the

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Charlton catalogue categorizes the an-nual report and its coin as a “1-cent derivative.”

The mintage and circulation of the Mint’s annual report was 7,746 copies. The 2.25-gram copper-plated, zinc-core cent bears the Dora de Pedery-Hunt

obverse portrait matched with the George E. Kruger-Gray re-verse, which is the background for the selective gold plating on the reverse.

The modest 7,746-coin mintage of the gold-plated 2003 cent packaged with the

Mint’s annual report makes the piece a sought-after item.


Collectors often find a type of small silver coin for sale

at very inexpensive prices, usu-ally described on their holders simply as “Western Satraps.” These coins were struck in a kingdom called Ariaca, in west-ern and central India, which covered modern Gujarat, south-ern Sind, Maharashtra, Rajast-han and Madhya Pradesh states. The kingdom was ruled by two dynasties known as the Western Kshatrapas (or Sa-traps). They are believed to have been descendants of the Saka, a branch of the Scythians, nomadic people of Iranian ori-gin. Some sources refer to them as being among the Indo-Scyth-ians, which is a term used for Scythians who migrated into regions of Central Asia and

northern South Asia between the mid-second century BC and the fourth century AD. In clas-sical times they resided in Scythia, an area covering the Pontic-Caspian Steppe and por-tions of Central Asia.

The term “kshatrapa” or “sa-trap” is defined as a viceroy or governor of a province. In a space of three-and-a-half centu-ries, some 27 independent Western Satrap rulers occupied the throne. Although they were defacto kings, on their coins they generally referred to them-selves as satraps. The term Western Satraps distinguishes them from another dynasty to the northeast, the Northern Sa-traps. The Western Satraps were comprised of two great families: the Kshaharatas, and

the Kardamakas, who suc-ceeded them.

Coins are known (though rare) for Abhiraka, the first Kshaharata ruler for whom we have evidence. He was suc-ceeded by Bhumaka, who is-sued coins without portraits, but with an arrow, thunderbolt and pellet and an identifying legend in Karoshthi on the ob-verse. A pillar’s capital, seated lion and a dharmachakra (“wheel of life”), along with a Brahmi legend, are shown on the reverse.

Bhumaka was succeeded by his son Nahapana (AD 119-124), who became a powerful king. He conquered part of the Satavahana empire and also ruled Malwa, southern Gujarat, as well as northern Konkan and the Nasik and Poona districts. His son-in-law Ushavadata served as viceroy under Na-hapana, governing the south-ern part of the king’s domains. The city of Bharuch (also called Barigaza) became one of the main centres of Indian trade with the Roman Empire.

The silver drachmas of Na-hapana are based on the earlier Indo-Greek coinage. On the ob-verse is an Indo-Greek style portrait of Nahapana and the p s e u d o - G r e e k l e g e n d Α Τ Α Ρ Α Η Α Ξ Ω Ι Ν Ν Α Ρ C

ΑΝΑΠΑΗΑΝC (translation: In the Reign of Kshaharata Na-hapana). The obverse depicts an arrow and a stylized thun-derbolt. Nahapana also struck bronze coins, but these are rare.

Eventually, however, the Sat-avahana empire struck back. The great Satavahana king Gautamiputra Satakarni forced Nahapana out of Malwa and western Maharashtra, and west to Gujarat.

The coins of the Kardamaka family, which succeeded the Kshaharatas, also bear royal busts and Greek or pseudo-Greek legends on their ob-verses. The common reverse on their coins is a chaitya or three-arched hill with a river below and with a crescent, or crescent and star, depicted above it and a legend in Brahmi. The coins record the name of the issuing king, the name of his father, and the date of issue. The data thus provided has been useful in clarifying the history of this re-gion of India. From the time of Rudrasena I (AD 200-222), the

date of the coin’s manufacture is usually included on the ob-verse behind the head.

The first Kardamaka family king was Castana, or Chastana. The date of his accession is un-certain, but many scholars ac-cept the date of AD 130. The geographer Ptolemy describes the land of the Western Satraps at the time of Castana as ex-tending from Patalene in the west to Ujjain in the east and south beyond Bharuch.

T h e d y n a s t y C a s t a n a founded issued coins in silver, bronze and potin (the latter be-ing a bronze alloy with a high tin content). The base-metal coins are hard to find, but their silver coins are common. The Kardamaka family dated their coins according to the Saka era, which began near the vernal equinox of the year AD 78. The coins of Castana have a read-a b l e o b v e r s e l e g e n d : “ΑΠΑΡΤΑΞ ΩΙΝΝΑΡC CIA-STANCA” (translation: In the

The Kshatrapa dynasty enjoyed great power and influence during the reign of Nahapana (AD 119-124).

This silver drachm of Rudraman I (AD 130-15) shows the ruler on the obverse and a three-arched hill on the reverse.

Castana, whose reign is believed to have taken place around AD 130, was the first king of the Kardamaka family.

Reign of the Satrap Castana). Coins issued after the reign of this king exhibit legends in in-creasingly corrupted Greek until by the fourth century they are completely meaning-less. The quality of the silver in the coins also declined as time went on. Coins of the Karda-maka family can often be found at coin shows and in dealers’ shops, priced very cheaply.

Coins of the Western Sa-traps were greatly imitated by

their neighbours and by later dynasties, such as the Satava-hanas and the Guptas. For ex-ample, the Satavahana ruler Gautamiputra Satakarni re-struck many of Nahapana’s coins.

Castana’s son Jayadaman ap-pears to have been merely a sa-trap and not to have held the same title of Mahakshatrapa (Great Satrap) as his father. One thought is that he may have predeceased both his father and his son. Whatever the reason,

his coins are crudely made, be-ing square and consisting solely of copper. He was the father of Rudraman I.

Castana’s grandson Rudra-man I took the title of Mahak-shatrapa circa 130 AD. He spent much effort defending the king-dom from the powerful Satava-hana dynasty. During his reign Rudraman inflicted at least two defeats on the Satavahana, and regained all the lands previ-ously held by Nahapana except for Poona and Nasik.

A silver drachm of Rudraman I shows his bust on the obverse with a corrupted Greek legend. The reverse depicts a three-arched hill with a crescent and sun above, with a legend in Brahmi, identifying him and giving his relationship to his fa-ther.

In the late second century BC, the Satavahanas defeated the Western Satraps during the reign of the satrap Damajadasri I, and thus began the decline of the dynasty. It appears to have

enjoyed a brief revival of pros-perity during the reign of Ru-drasena II (AD 256-278). The last Kardamaka satrap was Vis-vasena (293-304).

A new family took control of the kingdom with the accession of Rudrasimha II (304-348). Un-der Rudrasimha III (388-395) the kingdom was invaded by the Gupta dynasty. The West-ern Satraps were eventually conquered by the great Gupta emperor Chandragupta II, who absorbed it into his empire. W

Mount Rushmore was featured on three 1991 Mount Rushmore Golden Anniversary commemo-rative coins and on the 2006 South Dakota state quarter. Cre-ated by Menna, the new design is distinctly different and offers a perspective on how Mount Rushmore was created and sculpted.

Coins in the program have a common obverse design that features John Flanagan’s 1932 portrait of George Washington.

The multi-year America the Beautiful program directs the U.S. Mint to strike and issue 56 circulating quarter-dollar coins

with reverse designs emblem-atic of a national park or other national sites in each state, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). The quarters are being released in

the order in which the featured sites were first established as national parks or sites. The de-signs will rotate five times each year through 2020, with the final coin being released in 2021.

The 2013 presidential dollars will bear portraits of former presidents William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William

Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson on their obverses.

The coins’ designers are Hemphill (McKinley), Menna (Roosevelt), U.S. Mint master designer Barbara Fox and sculp-tor-engraver Michael Gaudioso (Taft), and Everhart (Wilson).

Inscriptions on the obverse of each coin in the presidential

program include the president’s name, the years in office, a num-ber indicating the order in which he served, and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

All coins in the program have a common reverse featuring the Statue of Liberty, designed and executed by Everhart.

The coins will be released at approximately three-month in-tervals throughout the year be-ginning in February. W

HUB CITY COINS


The Victoria 50-cent pieces are fasci-nating coins to collect. Replete with

four major obverse types, they present an absorbing challenge to the numisma-tist.

The composition is .925 silver and .075 copper, with a weight of 11.62 grams and diameter of 29.72 millimetres. All bear a reeded edge. The designer and engraver was Leonard C. Wyon.

The years of issue ranged from 1870 through 1901, beginning with an extreme rarity: the 1870 Obverse OH1 portrait is depicted very clearly, as are the other three obverse types, in the Charlton Stan-dard Catalogue of Canadian Coins: Volume 1. I’ve mentioned this many times in our previous discussions as a “must have” for any collector of Canadian coins. Its value lies between $1,000 in Good to an eye-popping $60,000 in MS-63. The “date” collector can find solace in the same date, but with the Obverse OH2. It carries a more manageable price tag in the lower circulated grades, but becomes quite costly in Mint State (Uncirculated). I prefer a solid Very Fine for this coin as most detail is present and it is less than half the cost of an Extremely Fine piece.

The Heaton Mint joined in the produc-tion the following year and the specialist has four varieties to collect with the date collector requiring but two. Each of these bears the Obverse OH2 portrait. The amount produced was prolific to say the least, with the Royal Mint striking 200 million and the Heaton Mint contribut-ing 45 million. The latter produced no varieties, but the Royal Mint’s output brings us three varieties to contend with, including the normal coin, a doubled die in “DEI GRATIA” and a re-punched C in “VICTORIA.” Again the date collector will be satisfied with the ordinary exam-ple although, in lower circulated grades, the two varieties are not that much more costly than the ordinary coin.

In 1872, the Heaton Mint produced the entire mintage, all with the Obverse OH2 portrait design for that year, and would continue to do so for the denomination until the Victoria design’s end. The font styles and size for the legends would have been selected by Wyon in London. As was customary, he would have super-vised the striking of the matrix as well as the creation of the dies and punches. The Royal Mint in London refurbished (soft-ened, repaired and hardened) hundreds of worn dies during the 1870s, so it is not unreasonable to assume that Heaton did the same. The punches at Heaton were required to repair work on hardened steel dies. Thus we have the anomaly of four varieties in addition to the ordinary date. The first is the “bar variety” with a cross bar in the V of “VICTORIA.” Then follows the re-punched N and last A of “CANADA.” Our third type is the re-punched A in “REGINA.” Finally we have the re-punched 2 in the date. The bar variety is by far the more expensive of the five coins with a price tag in the five figures for a nice About Uncirculated example. Others are in the range of most collectors.

We have a lapse in the striking of any 50-cent pieces until we arrive at 1881.

The year 1881 saw the Obverse OH3 portrait design. The year also saw one of the highest mintage outputs for the series with 150 million coins struck for circula-tion.

Another lapse prevailed until 1888. Mysteriously, we have three different ob-verse portrait types to contend with: OH2, OH3 and OH4, with the latter be-ing far scarcer. The average collector must be content with a lower circulated grade.

The Heaton Mint reported that both OH3 and OH4 portrait designs were struck in 1890, however no certified ex-amples of the OH3 are known to exist.

Despite the high mintage, the OH4 por-trait design is very expensive, even in the grade of good with a $1,000 price tag. It is believed that most of that year’s produc-tion ended up in the melting pot, which accounts for the unknown OH3 portrait design. To contemplate such situations is part of the fun of coin collecting.

The year 1892 is known with both the OH3 and OH4 portraits, with the former a true scarcity and virtually unknown in the upper level grades. The following year saw no production. From 1894 to the conclusion of the series, all were struck with the OH4 portrait design. With a reputed mintage of 29 million pieces, 1894 is another mystery. Prices

range from more than $300 in Good to the five-figure neighbourhood in About Uncirculated to Uncirculated levels.

Again, production of the denomina-tion was suspended until 1899. In the fol-lowing year we encounter two collectible varieties: the “Large 9s” and “Small 9s” reverses. A ready distinction can be made by looking at the tails of the nines, which are much closer to the circles of the nines on the Small 9s than on the Large 9s vari-ety.

The concluding mintages of 1900 and 1901 offer no varieties.

Next up we’ll talk about the Edward VII and George V designs. Until then, stay well and enjoy your hobby. W

One of the prominent nu-m i s m a t i s t s i n t h e

Maritimes during the early 20th century was William B. Tennant. He was born in New Brunswick on April 13, 1871, the third son of an Irish ship-builder and ship’s carpenter, John Tennant (1833-) and Mary L. Thomas (1838-1901).

At the age of 18, he was still living with his parents, work-ing as a clerk in a drug store at 260 Waterloo St. in Saint John, but he must also have been training for the clergy. By 1896, the Saint John Directory lists him as Rev. William B. Ten-nant, a Methodist clergyman, at 54 Exmouth St. The record of his marriage to Caroline Ma-ria Salmon (1871-1948) in 1897 also shows his occupation as “clergyman,” and the city di-rectory for 1898 shows Rev. William B. Tennant at 12 Gold-ing St. For reasons that remain a mystery, his pastoral occupa-tion was short-lived, as he left the ministry around the turn of the century. The city directo-ries stop listing Rev. Tennant and the 1901 federal census shows his occupation as “in-surance agent.”

From this point on, Tennant pursued a career in finance and construction. In the latter capacity, he was a director of the Nova Scotia Construction Company, which had the con-tract to build a section of the St. John Valley Railway from Saint John to Gagetown. The

1911 federal census lists him as “financier” and the St. John City Directory for 1923 shows his listing as “financial agent” along with an advertisement for his office in the Pugsley Building at 45 Princess St. He owned the Anglo-Canadian Fire Agencies, organized and managed the Maritime Lime Company, and briefly owned Ready’s Beverages Ltd., now operating under the name of New Brunswick Breweries. Tennant became well con-nected, particularly with the Conservat ive party, and thrived financially, contribut-ing $1,000 (a hefty sum at the time) to the First World War Patriotic Fund committee in 1916.

Tennant’s business career was not without controversy, particularly as it intersected with his political connections. In January 1918, he had to tes-tify at the inquiry into the St. John Valley Railway. His testi-mony indicated that he had personally given $20,000 to the Conservative MPP for King’s County, George B. Jones, which raised considerable scandal for the N.B. government at the time.

In 1919, he was back in the news again, this time in con-nection with the “Patriotic Po-tato Commission,” which was investigating the province’s loss of funds resulting from the mismanaged supply of surplus potatoes for the relief of the

British and Belgian people dur-ing the First World War. Among the witnesses, again, was W. B. Tennant, who testi-fied that New Brunswick’s pre-mier at the time, George J. Clarke, “told me that the gov-ernment had purchased a great many more potatoes than they had figured on for the contri-bution to the British Empire and a great many of the pota-toes had rotted and they were facing a very serious loss, and he wanted to know if I and a few friends could help them out temporarily.”

Apparently, what the pre-mier meant was that Tennant and other friends of the gov-ernment should contribute the nearly $33,000 that was lost. “I turned the proposition down,” Tennant continued. “It did not appeal to me as being very businesslike.” The two contro-versies were linked, however, as, in a subsequent discussion with Premier Clarke, Tennant said that if his construction company was awarded the tender for the St. John Valley Railway, he would be able to pay the potato loss out of his profits. When they won the contract in 1916, and during an election campaign, Tennant paid Jones $61,500, which he said he assumed was entirely for the potato loss. Later, Ten-nant was in some difficulty with his bankers, and asked his political contacts, including the former Attorney General, to give him a short-term loan for $40,000 so that his books would withstand an audit dur-

ing the Railway inquest. The commission was quite damn-ing of several members of the former government of New Brunswick, concluding that the province’s taxpayers were out something between $39,000 and $61,500, and that several high-ranking members of gov-ernment willfully ignored ba-sic accounting practices or fraudulently represented trans-actions. Tennant, himself, was largely absolved of responsi-bility in the affair.

As a man of considerable means, as these investigations show, Tennant was able to in-vest substantially in his collec-tions. Although it is unclear when he began collecting coins and tokens, it would have been before January 1909, when his application for membership in the American Numismatic As-sociation appeared in The Nu-mismatist. R. W. McLachlan and Herbert L. Doane were his sponsors.

“Mr. Tennant was a charm-ing individual,” recounts J. Douglas Ferguson in the Cana-dian Numismatic Journal in 1978. “I only saw his collection on two different occasions when it was at his home. He sometimes kept it at his office in Saint John. He was a very generous bidder at auction sales of Canadian material.”

Indeed, Tennant was partic-ularly known for his high bids at the auction of W. W. C. Wil-son’s collection in 1925. In this auction he bought lot 518, a rare variety of bouquet sou combining the obverse (bou-

quet) of Breton 686 with the reverse (wreath) of Breton 683, then thought to be unique. This specimen later went to the Norweb collection and now re-sides in that of the American Numismatic Society. Tennant also bought Wilson’s extremely rare 1670-A 15 sols, struck for the Compagnie des Indes for use in New France (lot 371), formerly in the Parsons collec-tion. This also went through

Tennant made headlines, but not for coin collection

By Ted Banning

The World ofmoney

Tennant’s exceedingly rare 1845 Bank of Montreal front-view half penny ended up in the American Numismatic Society’s collection.

Tennant was known for placing high bids at auction, for items such as this bouquet sou variety combining the obverse bouquet of Breton 686 with the reverse wreath of Breton 683.

Tennant was in the news in January 1918, testifying at the St. John Valley Railway inquiry


the Norweb collection to the ANS. And he owned an exceptional 1885 Cana-dian 10-cent piece at a time when col-lecting decimals was not especially popular. This, too, ended up in Nor-web’s collection.

Not restricting himself to numismat-ics, Tennant collected paintings, antique prints and maps, and antique photo-graphs relating to the history of Saint John. In 1933, he donated his collection of antique stereo photographs to the New Brunswick Museum. In 1943, the same museum received some or all of his collection of antique prints and paintings about St. John, including an 1892 watercolour of St. John Harbour by Edward J. Russell and an 1815 print with a view of St. John by Charles Turner.

These last donations may have been bequests, as Tennant died on Dec. 12, 1943.

His impressive coin and token col-lection, as the above already hints,

was bought by the famous Cleveland numismatist, Emery May Norweb (née Holden) early in 1953. In his rem-iniscences of past numismatists he knew, mentioned above, J. Douglas Ferguson claims that Tennant’s son, Nigel Bruce Tennant, asked Ferguson to value the collection for succession duties, “which I was glad to do for the estate. Later on when the son decided not to continue the collection, he asked me if I would arrange to dis-pose of the collection. There were a number of pieces in it that I wanted for my own and so I got in touch with Charlie Wormser of (New Nether-lands Coin Company), New York and asked Charlie if he would buy the col-lection and sell me at retail from it the pieces I needed. Charlie agreed but, in sending up (his agent), John Ford to represent him in buying the collection … they had forgotten the promise, or John Ford did not know of the prom-ise, and it was sold intact to the Nor-

webs of Cleveland.” Norweb paid more than $6,000 plus Ford’s travel expenses and a $1,000 fee to New Netherlands. When she heard about this, she reportedly offered to sell Ferguson the pieces he wanted – ap-parently some Canadian patterns – but he declined the offer.

A letter from Norweb to Eric P. Newman in July 1954 suggests how much importance she attached to this new Canadian branch of her collec-tion: “I have been exceedingly busy cataloguing Canadian tokens, espe-cially of the Tennant Collection. These I wanted in order before going to Can-

ada in late August for the Canadian Coin Convention.” Of course she was referring to the upcoming first con-vention of the Canadian Numismatic Association at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto, held Aug. 23 and 24, 1954.

Later, some of the Tennant pieces ended up in the American Numis-matic Society’s collection, including the exceedingly rare 1845 Bank of Montreal front-view half penny, but most were auctioned with the bulk of Norweb’s Canadian coins and tokens in auctions by Christie’s in New York, on April 22 and 23, 1985, and by Bow-ers and Merena on Nov. 15, 1996.

of Canada through the Freedom of In-formation Act be made to reveal its complete inventory of Canadian coin-age?”

Every serious collector should be ab-solutely outraged. I am now thinking “is there a hoard of MS-66 Canadian large cents? Is there a hoard of pristine Canadian Queen Victoria 50-cent pieces?” The collectors who have been wondering about a hoard of Canadian gold sovereigns now have something to really think about. Could you imag-ine paying thousands of dollars for a sovereign only to discover the Bank of Canada is sitting on thousands of them?

Are there banks in the U.S. sitting on significant hoards of Mint State buffalo nickels? Mint State Indian Head gold pieces? What if they found 5,000 MS-67 1913 Type 2 buffalo nickels? What would happen to my investment then?

This is nuts!Good thing I received this informa-

tion because I was planning on making a $2,000 purchase through Heritage Auctions. I will never ever purchase a

product from the Royal Canadian Mint. Canadian Coin News must undertake a thorough investigation of this matter and find out why this decision was made, and the publication must seri-ously examine the impact on the hobby.

It is our understanding that there are no further coin holdings at the Bank of Canada. The bank does not hold base-metal coins at all, but at one time held gold, from a time when Canadian notes were technically backed by gold. Today it uses cash in its Ex-change Fund Account when it chooses to purchase Canadian or foreign currency.

We still don’t know the population by grade. The coins are sold labelled as “select” and “premium select,” with no actual grade assigned to them. In time, the nicer ones at least will likely be submitted for certification and show up on official population reports.

While the existence of some gold coins was known, nobody knew how many or what. We are watching the market to see what impact this sale will have. The fact that the coins were virtually all absorbed in less than a week implies that the demand still exceeds supply. We will be watching future sales of the gold $5 and $10 to see if there is any change.

Medals cover a broad range. Some are clearly a

work of art, or more aptly, the components can be viewed as individual works of art form-ing a harmonious piece of medallic art. Such is the case of a fraternal medal made for the “Ancient Order of Foresters.” It can be seen in its leather purple felt-lined presentation case (Figure 1).

We get additional informa-tion from the inside lid: “Am-brose Kent & Sons Ltd/Rega-lia & Jewelers /Kent Build-ing, Toronto at 156 Yonge St.” Foresters use the word “jew-ellers” instead of medalists as an official term, which is known to have come into For-estry vocabulary in 1893. Fur-ther research reveals that Ca-nadian silversmiths Ambrose Kent & Sons were in the busi-ness of manufacturing and retailing items in sterling sil-ver in the 1890s, before chang-ing its moniker to Kent Am-brose & Son, and then Kent Bros. – the touch mark of each which was acquired by Henry Birks & Sons – and succeeded in 1946 by Kent Fairweather Ltd.

Seen in Figure 2a is a vin-tage undated image of the members of the Ancient Or-der of Foresters and their em-blem, examples of which can be seen in Figure 2b.

My research did not find another emblem exactly like it, but it did find a group of orders, which in North Amer-ica evolved from the Ancient Order of Foresters. Take a look at Figure 3, which in-cludes some of those that evolved, including the Cana-dian Order of Foresters, the Catholic Order of Foresters,

and the Independent Com-panions of the Forest (or of Foresters). These emblems do not look like ours, but for our purposes, it does give a basis of comparison.

The Ancient Order of For-esters, which in 1850 attained legal status under Britain’s Friendly Societies Act, was established in 1834 at Roch-dale, Lancaster, although its

origin lies in a much older so-ciety called the Royal Forest-ers. From its founding, the order ’s duty was to assist those who fell into need from illness or loss of work, which left families financially dis-tressed or destitute. To ac-complish this humanistic duty to assist others as “they walked through the forests of life,” a small amount was paid each week into a com-mon fund. The Foresters of-fered side pay and funeral grants as needed.

Starting at the top of Figure 3, we see a pin back clasp f ro m w h i c h d a n g l e s a colourful ribbon, which actu-ally has two components: a hunting horn and a shield (enlarged in Figure 4). Inter-estingly, a shield is upon a shield. The top one is so tiny that like the larger shield un-der it, the symbols are diffi-cult to distinguish and de-scribe. However, when seen as an entire medal, an impres-sive effect is created. It is im-mediately seen that the upper shield is enamelled and di-vided into quarters by a cross in red, a colour that is re-peated in the red enamelled letters in the oval portion of the medal hanging from the ribbon.

While the symbols, which look like bars and amorphous shapes in each quarter, could not be identified, I was able to establish that the shield is the Ancient Order of Forest-ers emblem devised in 1815. I found more clearly defined forms on sashes worn over the right shoulder. The three horizontal bars in the upper-right quadrant are now iden-tifiable as “three running stags.” In the lower-right quarter is a quiver over a bow and arrow and hunting horn. In the lower-left quadrant are a chevron with a lamb and

flag. This leads us to conclude that the symbols on our medal in the four quarters are only to be representative of the original design, not at-tempting to depict the real modelled symbols. Even though there was no recipi-ent’s name engraved on the medal’s back, we can specu-late that, this medal was in-tended to be an individual award, not a sash-like identi-fication of a “lodge.” Note that instead of the word “lodge,” the Foresters use the term “court,” coming from the British law courts of the royal forests, which since the Middle Ages had met to ad-minister the special forest laws.

After much searching for anything relating to Forester medals and how they were used, I found a website titled “The Foresters Heritage Trust,” from which the fol-lowing is gleaned.

Medals in general were an integral feature of Friendly Societies. There were several forms of early medals, includ-ing our tiny shield, which shows the Foresters’ coat of arms.

“The distinctive diamond shape (Figure 5) did not ap-peal to eligible wearers, and seems to have been discarded pretty quickly for a jewel matching the design of that devised for a Past Chief Ranger,” the site states.

Take a look at Figure 6, a medal that came in three gold versions (9, 15, and 18 karats), which differs from ours in small ways. Unfortunately, neither medal is dated. The design changes from a dia-mond shape to an oval, like ours, a transition that seems to have occurred in 1893 and “the overall design of the (new) jewel, ribbon and bar proved highly acceptable and lasted for the next 100 years.” What remains puzzling is the engraved appearance of sil-versmith “Ambrose Kent & Sons” on the back of our bronze/gold-coloured medal, which no indication that the metal is silver underneath. I did notice that medals for court officials, such as the sec-retary (Figure 7), do employ the oval shape like ours. How-ever, the silver ones that I could find are from Britain’s London area. They seem to come in a presentation box. Ours, as was seen in Figure 1, is contained in a multiple folded soft case.

In Figure 8, we see that the ribbon hangs from a bar be-hind the medal. But the oval part of the medal is not con-nected by a free-floating ring, as is usually the case. The ring is a fixed extension from the apex of the bottom portion of the medal. It is designed so that the attractive golden ring contributes to the piece as a connected visual whole.

When military personnel wear an array of medals, it is clearly intended that each medal have unified character-istics that distinguish it from the medal next to it. That hav-

ing been said, let’s look at the central oval design (Figure 9). Although the initials first catch the eye, let’s instead fo-cus on the golden letters on the blue enamelled oval, which state “Ancient Order of Foresters,” surrounded by a golden scalloped frame. Inside is a matte gold-hued back-ground, on which are strik-ingly designed colourful enamelled interlocking ini-tials. Though striking, the in-tertwining initials make it dif-ficult to discern the letters and imagery.

Though the back of a medal is usually inscribed to the re-cipient being honoured, the only lettering on this one is the producer of the medal: “A. Kent & Sons.” The creatively designed letters certainly do

not identify “Ak & S” or “AOF.” In fact, we discover that the letters are “PCR,” which takes us into an under-standing of what these For-ester letters signify. The offi-cers of the order continued the titles of officials of the medi-eval forest courts such as Ranger and Woodward. Thus, the chief official was the Ranger. The letter “CR” can be found on medals for the “Chief Ranger.” On our medal, the central letters “PCR” refer to “Past Chief Ranger.” W


The Isle of Man Government has issued this coin to commemorate the 200th

anniversary of the rediscovery of Petra. Petra is a city in Jordan famous for its rock cut architecture and water system. The coin features the façade of the Treasury building and was featured in such fi lms as Sinbad and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. To make this coin even more special, it contains sand collected from the site. The 1oz Silver High Relief Coin is presented in a beautiful wooden, walnut effect box.

Welcome back to Trends.This review has brought us once again to the banknote section, this listing is a

survey of Bank of Canada issues ranging from the iconic 1935 series to the more recent “multi-coloured” issues.

Following up on the earlier review in the fall, the small number of changes this time around continue to bring this 1935 section closer in line with current market conditions and demand, with slight price increases to the lower mid-grades of a number of denominations. The banknote market in some ways appears to reflect the numismatic market as a whole, these days. The core “classics” continue to re-main strong, while in other areas prices may have perhaps escalated a bit too ag-gressively over the past couple years, and are now experiencing somewhat of a correction in demand at these current price levels.

CANADIAN PAPER MONEY – BANK OF CANADA

While I don’t believe the banknote market is at risk of adopting the severe catalogue-to-actual market pricing ratio of the philatelic world (no of-fence to our stamp collecting friends), today’s banknote col-lector seems increasingly ex-pectant of a discount when ne-gotiating the purchase of many, if not most, notes. Future cata-loguers will have to be vigilant, as always, in monitoring this trend and responding appro-priately in the preparation of their publications.

As I write this column, we once again find ourselves near the close of yet another year,

and what a year of “firsts” it has been for Canadian collec-tors, as we reflect on events in both the coin and banknote fac-ets of the hobby. Few Canadi-ans will forget their first en-counter with the second and third instalments of our new polymer currency series, with the $50 and $20 denominations making their appearance dur-ing 2012. For all their high-tech brilliance, the $20 issue in par-ticular became more of a con-versation piece for its design petty-politics and fairly extreme friction, rather than for the hal-lowed theme commemorated in its design.

On the regional trade-show front, another “first” saw the return of a major Toronto coin show to the heart of the city, af-ter a hiatus of a few years. Con-

grats to Jared Stapleton and his team for launching the inaugu-ral Toronto Coin Expo in early June, which – in spite of near-typhoon conditions that saw rivers of water pouring down the steps of the nearby under-ground subway terminal – closed to positive reviews from both collectors and dealers alike. At the follow-up fall show, it was Geoff Bell’s auc-tion that grabbed the headlines with a number of new “firsts” – including the sale of a unique 1872 Summerside $5 note for a record $54,000, including buy-er’s premium. As observed in one of my earlier columns, seri-ous collectors continue to have deep pockets for serious mate-rial.

And finally, no list of numis-matic “firsts” for this past year

would be valid without a gen-erous nod to our colleagues at the Royal Canadian Mint. From glow-in-the-dark tech-nology to their release of the remarkable Haida Gwaii – at 5kg, the largest silver coin ever seen in the western hemisphere – the Mint solidly retained their status as a top subject of discussion around the numis-matic water coolers of our hobby and industry.

Switching, next, from the new to the classic – who would really have known that, after countless years of discussion, ours would finally be the first generation since Confederation to move forward without our 1-cent coin (and that modern “farewell” reproductions of the denomination would be more popular than the coin itself!).

Fnally, in an absolutely unprec-edented closing “first” of 2012, the door swings open on the Bank of Canada’s gold vault to reveal the most profound trea-sure-trove of Canadian gold coinage the world has ever seen – thus, introducing all Canadi-ans to two key former members of our circulating coinage sys-tem that most didn’t even know had actually existed!

An interesting and note-wor-thy year indeed, was 2012. Un-til the next edition of Trends, to be crafted on the very cusp of 2013, I wish all of our readers and my colleagues a safe and enjoyable holiday season, and the very best of health and suc-cess during the impending new year.

Regards,Sean Isaacs

which is used to cull non-plated coins from circulation for melting.

The order in council, which was made under the Currency Act, authorized the government to reimburse financial institu-tions for coins they turn in to the Mint.

While the Mint Act governs operations of the RCM, the Cur-rency Act governs the nature and composition of Canadian coins.

After a debate extending several months, the end of the 1-cent coin was announced in last March’s federal budget. During the debate, Canadian Coin News managing editor and associate publisher Bret Evans was one of the witnesses at a Senate Finance Committee hearing on the coin. That com-mittee recommended with-drawing the coin from circula-tion and replacing it with a

rounding process, where cash transactions will be paid to the nearest five-cent increment. Electronic or cheque transac-tions will continue to be calcu-lated to the cent, and the small-est unit of accounting will be the cent.

The government had first an-nounced that the coin would be withdrawn in the fall of 2012, but moved the date to early 2013 to avoid causing confusion during the holiday shopping season, and give charities a chance to run penny-drive cam-paigns to collect some of the bil-lions of 1-cent coins sitting in Canadian hoards.

An earlier study by caisse populaire Desjardins estimated that it cost 1.6 cents to strike and place each 1-cent coin into cir-culation. A Bank of Canada study indicated that eliminating the coin would not contribute to inflation.

Among the countries that have already eliminated lower value coins are New Zealand, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway and Australia. W

1-cent cull...Continued from page 1

The year 2003 saw liberals Paul Martin and Dalton McGuinty take power in Canada and Ontario respectively.

Bonnie Ross has a mandolin that she just might learn to

play some day.The Nova Scotia native is

simply too busy with her career as an illustrator and graphic artist to take up the hobby of learning to play an instrument, or any other hobby for that matter.

While she’d like to believe she can slow down after three decades in the business, her re-cent move from the metropoli-tan Halifax area to smaller Kentville in the Annapolis Val-ley hasn’t diminished the work-load; in fact, the graphic design work through her company, Ross Graphic, hasn’t slowed down a bit.

While she was initially ap-proached in the late 1990s to provide illustrations for Canada Post, she was soon designing coin after coin of varying shapes and compositions for the Royal Canadian Mint. More than 20 finished coins later, her latest project – the 25-cent cir-culation coin of Tecumseh – was one of the last releases of 2012, and is part of the series of coins commemorating the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.

With past commissions, Ross says she has had a working knowledge of her subject, but the important Shawnee leader’s contributions to the shaping of our nation were largely un-known to her.

“So for this project, I basically got every book I could get my hands on through the Nova Scotia public library system and I scanned them for descrip-tions of Tecumseh, whether it was by (Isaac) Brock, or a fur trader, or someone else, and I put them all together on one page.”

When she compared those descriptions in one place, an image began to form in her mind, as well as a personality.

As a result, the portrait she used on the coin shows a proud, but nearly sneering, ab-original chief. “I guess you could call it a proud mouth,” she notes.

Through her research she discovered Tecumseh was con-sidered a handsome man, and a somewhat vain man – he is said to have tossed a gift from one of his wives into the fire be-cause he didn’t think it suited his image – but also someone fiercely loyal to the Shawnee ways.

Tecumseh’s brother had pushed the First Nation not to

accept any clothing or para-phernalia from the white set-tlers, so Tecumseh’s dress was simplistic in style, without any European influences.

While there were times when he shaved his head or wore a headdress on the back of his head, the Mint decided Tecum-seh would have hair in the coin design, and a head scarf, remi-niscent of how the Shawnee would look in full military re-galia.

Ross’s earlier coin in the se-ries is the toonie depicting the importance to the conflict of the HMS Shannon. To be chosen to design that coin made sense, she says, since her proximity to Halifax Harbour for all those

years fostered an intimate knowledge of ships.

“I have a lot of tall ship work as well and for some reason they thought I was an expert on ships, because I had done a double-stamp (for Canada Post) on the

tall ships, but I made sure they knew I do other things

beside ships.”Besides designing the coin,

Ross was also commissioned to do an oil painting of the Shan-non, for use on the coin packag-ing. While it may look like it was done in oils, it is simply a style created on the computer, Ross notes. In fact, pretty much

all her work, whatever media it may look like, is now created primarily in digital mode, us-ing Corel’s Painter program.

“I can make a watercolour digitally that you would not know it wasn’t painted on Strathmore paper. I can even give a canvas texture to a back-ground painting, using this fractal design program,” she says.

One of the main reasons for creating the coins and collateral exclusively on the computer is that she often has to provide quick turnaround on projects.

“Sometimes the Mint gives me a call when they have a spe-cial challenge or something that has to be done fairly fast, be-cause I am really fast at what I do. I also give them lots of op-tions; I don’t just concentrate on one particular view or object of a theme.

“I think it helps, too, that I have never missed a deadline.”

Unlike many others in the business, Ross says she does not use Adobe products such as Photoshop or Illustrator, which are vector-based.

Some of the other subjects she has tackled for coin design include the 140th anniversary of the Dominion of Canada; the 120th anniversary of Standard Time; a gold coin in the series of provincial flowers, for Nova

Scotia, naturally; and several gold and silver coins for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, in-cluding a silver coin with a ho-logram honouring the four-man bobsleigh team, and a gold $200 “Go for the Gold” coin.

W h e n a s k e d a b o u t a favourite out of all those de-signs, she answers without hes-itation:

“Right now – and not just be-cause it is foremost in my mind – my favourite coin is Tecum-seh, because I could really see him coming to life.

“I think about a month or two ago I saw a production about the war on TV and they had a gentleman playing Te-cumseh and he looks just like the illustration I had done. In the research I learned so much about what this remarkable person had done; he was quite a force to be reckoned with; it’s a shame he wasn’t as recog-nized as he should have been.”

So far, the year 2013 will see the release of at least three coins with the initials “BR.”

At the rate she is going, no one will be surprised if there are many more.

The mandolin will have to wait a little longer. W

Artist expands knowledge with each coin project

By Carolyn Mullin

NumismaticProFile

Bonnie Ross has been a graphic designer and illustrator for 30 years.

Ross has designed two of the coins in the War of 1812 series so far, including this 25-cent circulation coin depicting Tecumseh.

Ross’s coin designs have spanned a variety

of subjects.


New issues

Around the World with Carolyn Mullin

GREECE HONOuRS FATHER OF TRAGEDYThe Bank of Greece has issued a new collector’s coin that high-

lights an author of enduring reputation and innovation in a genre most prevalent in ancient Hellenic culture – theatrical tragedy. The works of Aeschylus (524-456 BC), regarded as the father of tragedy, are still read and performed to this day.

The coin, designed by George Stamatopoulos, includes a de-tailed front-facing portrait of the ancient author positioned to-ward the left half of the coin with a background of Greek words and dialogue from his many works.

His name and year of birth and death as well as the Greek Mint’s mark are seen just to the base of the portrait. The reverse design includes the Greek crest, which is positioned toward the upper half with the coin’s denomination of “10 EYPΩ,” just un-derneath with the year of issue, 2012, below the coin’s face value. The text “ELLHNIKH ΔHMOKRATIA” is seen along the upper edge.

Struck in silver, the coin weighs 34.1 grams with a diameter of 40 mm and a mintage of 5,000.

For more information go to www.bankofgreece.gr.

HOBBIT HAS HIS DAYNew Zealand is home to Middle Earth

once again, with the release of the first of three films based on J.R.R. Tolk-ien’s The Hobbit. To mark this moment in cinematic history, New Zealand Post has issued official legal tender com-memorative coins from Middle Earth.

The one-ounce .999-per-cent silver coin has selective gold plating, and features Bilbo Bag-gins, an unassuming Hobbit who is unexpect-edly swept away from his home in the Shire to em-bark upon an epic quest.

The obverse features Bag-gins with the distinctive New Zealand landscape in the back-ground, while the gold-plated rim is inscribed in both English and Dwarvish, with the words “Middle Earth – New Zealand.” The coin has a lim-ited mintage of 20,000.

For more information, go to www.nzpost.co.nz.

CITY SQuARES SHOWCASEDThe Perth Mint welcomed the new year with a focus on four famous squares in a 2013-

dated silver set, with St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, Rome; Trafalgar Square in London, England; Red Square in Moscow, Russia; and Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China.

Struck from one ounce of 99.9-per-cent silver, each square-shaped coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu. The reverse portrays an aerial view of the square in colour, with the name of the square inscribed in bold letters. The coin’s weight and purity and The Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark are also included in the design.

The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the year-date and the monetary denomination appear on the obverse of each coin.

The coins measure 33.2 by 33.2 mm, weigh 31.135 grams and have a mintage of 1,000 sets.

For information, visit www.perthmint.com.

THE PluSH CHOICE The teddy bear is known and loved by all as the stuffed animal of

choice for more than a century. To commemorate its popularity and enhance its appeal, the island nation of Palau has issued a teddy bear coin. Coin Invest Trust has created possibly the world’s plush-est silver coin by incorporating a small, furry bear into it.

The front of the coin depicts the South Sea island of Palau’s coat of arms, with the name of the issuing nation along the top edge and the $5 face value indicated in the exergue.

The reverse features a stylized baby carriage decorated with a heart and balloons, beside a teddy bear made with original Swiss embroidery. The name of the coin, “My Lovely Bear,” sits above it, with the issuing year, 2012, appearing in the exergue.

The .925 (sterling) silver coin weighs 20 grams, has a diameter of 38.61 mm and a mintage of 2,012.

During a recent visit to Co-lonial Acres Coins in

Kitchener, Kirk Parsons showed me a 1910 ten-cent coin in a PCGS holder. Other than stat-ing that it was a Canadian 1910 ten-cent coin, it showed the date. There was no reference to anything unusual.

After I examined it for awhile and discussing its possible causes with Kirk, I thought that it might be a good prospect for another contest.

Study the scans shown in Figures 1 through 5, taken by Kirk, and send me (at [email protected]) the explanation of how you think any errors you detect were caused.

The one that comes closest to what I think is the correct an-swer will receive a six-month subscription (new or renewal) to Canadian Coin News. Entries must be received within three weeks of the mailing of this is-sue.

To help you in your delibera-tion, let me point out that all images and legends on the coin are raised, and the edge has normal reeding (because it is slabbed by PCGS, we cannot scan it unless we break open the holder).

1978 EXTRA-THICK 25-CENTIn my column in Volume 50,

No. 15, I illustrated a 1978

twenty-five-cent coin submit-ted by Leslie G. that had me puzzled. It was much thicker than a normal coin.

The photo is repeated here as Figure 6.

Leslie provided specifica-tions of his thick coin, as well as the comment: “From the perfect strike and edge reed-ing, it looks like the press was set to expect a planchet of this

thickness and diameter.”I asked readers for their

thoughts of how a collar die could produce such high ver-tical serrations.

I heard from one of the nu-mismatists who attended the first Error & Variety Seminar at Humber College. I am pub-lishing Oleg B.’s response to show just what you have to go through to try to come up with an answer.

“Your article about the ‘ex-tra thick’ 25-cent coin struck with the year 1978 set quite an interesting challenge. I ap-proached the task by trying to figure out which foreign coin came close to the specifica-tions listed in the article. I started by going through Pat-rick Glassford’s reference site www.coinscan.com/for/for-eign.html, looking for every country RCM was striking coins for.

“After elimination of obvi-ous cases when coins matched the diameter and weight but were struck in gold, copper nickel or silver, I narrowed my search to two coins: a $1 coin struck for New Zealand in 2000 and a $1 coin struck for Fiji in 1995.”

Oleg provided the table of technical specifications of the 1995 Fiji dollar shown here in Figure 7.

He continued: “I am ruling out the Fiji dollar due to the fact it has uneven rim (eight-sided) when compared to the reported ‘thick’ coin.

“The next coin that exhib-ited close match to the re-

Dealer submission provides fodder for contests

ported specifications is a $1 struck for New Zealand in the year 2000.”

The New Zealand dollar Oleg refers to is shown in Fig-ure 8, while the technical spec-ification comparisons between Leslie’s “thick coin” and the New Zealand dollar specifica-tions from various sources is shown in Figure 9.

“Both Patrick’s website and Krause catalogue did not have reference to the thickness of the coin, but I learned that aluminum-brass dollars were

struck since 1990,” Oleg con-tinues. “Patrick’s website does not indicate that RCM minted these coins between 1990 and 2000, but it is also not provid-ing information regarding quantity and types of blanks RCM produced for other countries. Perhaps since 1990 RCM was supplying New Zealand mint aluminum-bronze blanks?

“Although it is still a mys-tery how blanks from the year 2000 or even 1990 were struck with 1978 dies, your indica-

tion that ‘the press was set to expect a planchet of this size and diameter,’ is it possible that the blanks were available back in 1978 or alternatively old dies were used in the year 2000?”

I don’t know how much time Oleg spent looking up the specifications and writing down his theories, but better him than me.

That thick blanks might have been available back in 1978 sounds logical, since the only way that the reeding on the edge of the thick coin cov-ers the full height is if the col-lar die was intended to strike thick blanks. They would not have such a collar die on hand unless they had blanks to use it with.

However, it is taking a bit of a leap in speculating that old dies from 1978 might have been used in the year 2000.

In Volume 50, No. 3 (May 22 to June 4, 2012), we published

an illustration of another thick coin, a 2008 ten-cent found, sent in by CCN subscriber Ivan R., shown here as figure 10.

The coin has the same di-ameter as the “normal” one but weighs 2.6145 grams. This makes it more than 40 per cent heavier than a normal 1.75 gram piece, whose edge view is also shown in the illustra-tion for comparison.

The Royal Canadian Mint has a long-established policy of not commenting on whom it supplies coins or blanks to, where it acquires raw materi-als from, or which foreign countries its strikes coins for, so I doubt that we would suc-ceed in obtaining an answer from the Mint.

Hopefully, when Chief Glassford reads this, he will do some further research. If he

finds any proof in Mint re-ports and other documenta-tion that thick planchets of the specifications spelled out here were indeed being used at the Mint in 1978, as well as 2008 to strike foreign coins, I know he will let us know.

Although Oleg could not provide any firm conclusions, I am impressed that he took the time to try to solve the puzzle about the thick coin. For his effort, I am pleased to present a six-month extension to Oleg’s subscription for re-sponding to my request for comments. W

These coins will only be sold individually if, after 45 days or September 30th, we do not sell the complete set or someone does not purchase the 50¢ coin separately. The 50¢ coin is unique and is the only known example outside the Bank of Canada collection. It is as rare as the 1911 pattern silver dollars.

This set originates from the Temple Collection. It would be wonderful to keep the set intact. This is why we are offering a substantial savings to buyers to keep it intact. We realize that a few collectors will only need the 50¢ coin to complete your collection so we would be willing to trade back your other four coins to keep the Temple Collection coins together. You can own this magnifi cent set for your four coins plus $65,000.
