2005 $200 22K Gold \"The Fur Trade\" Canadian Collector Coin. Includes the display case but no certificate of authenticity or outer black sleeve. The first three photos are stock photos. The last photo is of the actual coin/case that is for sale.Description:The fur trade began almost by accident as explorers exchanged goods with the natives they met while searching for a trade route to china. Soon, Europe\'s love affair with the beaver began and trading posts were springing up along the St. Lawrence River. But control meant wealth and some traders decided to go directly to the source rather than wait for the furs to come to them. They headed west.The lure of the massive canoes transcended class and social status as hundreds of men climbed aboard to head into the unknown for months, even years. Paddling up to 90 strokes per minute, they traveled thousands of kilometers, circumventing perilous rapids by loading each man with 90 kg (200 lb) of cargo to carry across countless portages. Bear fat, corn and pemmican were their staples and they had little more than the trees to shield them from the elements and the unrelenting flies. Known as coureurs de bois or voyageurs, the 2005 22-karat Gold Coin captures the essence of their adventurous lives the spirit of those brave men who helped to shape a nation.Travel back to this magical and defining time in Canadian history!Coin Specifications:Composition: 91.67% gold, 8.33% silver (22 karat)
