2022 Canadian Commemorative 7-Coin Collector Keepsake: '175th Anniversary of the BIRTH OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL'

2022 Canadian Commemorative 7-Coin Collector Keepsake: '175th Anniversary of the BIRTH OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL', is in Brand New, Factory-wrapped MINT Condition.

The 175^th Anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Graham Bell commemorative one-dollar coin honours his contributions and achievements, including a record-setting hydrofoil and the first powered aircraft to fly in Canada. Both crafts are depicted on the commemorative $1 coin, which is twice featured in this Keepsake Card: there’s the non-colour version, and one with blue waves representing Nova Scotia’s Bras d’Or Lake, where the HD-4 and the Silver Dart made history. 

Special Features
