2022 $50 Relics of New France Louis XIV 30 Deniers – Pure Silver 2-Coin Set

Description

Step back in time with the 2022 Royal Canadian Mint New France Louis XIV Two-Coin Silver Set, a captivating collection that pairs history with modern craftsmanship. This set includes a large 5 oz .9999 fine silver $50 replica of a 1711 30 deniers coin alongside a genuine historic 1711 coin, authentically encapsulated by a third-party service. The obverse of the modern replica faithfully reproduces the original coin’s intricate design, featuring the monogram of King Louis XIV with two interlocking “L”s beneath his crown, flanked by three Fleur-de-lis symbols. On the reverse, the classic 30 deniers design is reproduced in meticulous detail, evoking the style and character of early 18th-century French colonial coinage. The historic coin, smaller in size, offers a tangible connection to Canada’s early numismatic heritage, making this two-coin set a remarkable way to appreciate the artistry and significance of pre-Confederation coinage. Both coins are elegantly displayed side by side in a black presentation case, highlighting their contrast in size and history.

This exclusive collector’s set is limited to just 1,250 sets worldwide, making it a prized acquisition for collectors of Canadian history, French colonial numismatics, and fine silver coins.
