1973 Canada Double Dollar & Coin Set – Prince Edward Island Centennial

Description

The 1973 Canada Double Dollar & Coin Set – Prince Edward Island Centennial is a commemorative seven-coin collection issued by the Royal Canadian Mint to mark the 100th anniversary of Prince Edward Island’s entry into Confederation (1873–1973).

This set includes two commemorative silver dollar coins along with Canada’s standard circulating denominations from 1973, all struck in uncirculated condition. The dual silver dollars make this set particularly desirable, as it combines commemorative silver issues with a complete minor-coin lineup from the same year.
