Your 2025 tall ship adventure awaits…
Unlike the topsail schooner (Coin 3), the type of vessel depicted on this fourth 99.99% pure gold Tall Ships coin doesn’t carry square topsails; instead, a three-masted (or tern) schooner’s sails are fitted in a fore-and-aft line that enables the ship to have a better windward performance. Between 1880 and 1920, hundreds of tern schooners were launched from shipyards throughout Atlantic Canada. Built with a high carrying capacity and smaller crew requirements, the terns supplanted the square-rigged ships as the backbone of the coastal trade by the end of the 19th century, when these were the wind-powered equivalent to the freight trucks of today.

CARACTÉRISTIQUES DE LA PIÈCE
- Fourth coin in the series. The annual Tall Ships series of pure gold coins celebrates the legendary vessels that drew international acclaim for Canada’s shipyards and contributed to our rich maritime heritage.
- Back to Canada’s age of sail. Each instalment showcases a different type of tall ship or sail plan, beginning with the brigantine (2022) and continuing with the full-rigged ship (2023), the topsail schooner (2024), and now the three-masted (tern) schooner.
- A maritime legacy. Every Tall Ships coin is an expertly engraved and exquisitely detailed portrait of Canada’s past. These are the wooden ships that shaped the course of Canada’s history, and serve as a testament to a proud seafaring and shipbuilding legacy.

INCREDIBLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL
From the rigging details to the patent log towed astern, this historically accurate portrait captures the elegance of the three-masted schooner, a cargo vessel commonly used for coastal trade in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?
The Royal Canadian Navy had only 13 vessels in service at the outbreak of the Second World War, including one sailing vessel: HMCS Venture, a tern schooner that was commissioned as a training ship in 1937. Designed by Bluenose architect W. J. Roué, Venture survived the war but was lost in an explosion in 1951.
The reverse design by Canadian marine artist John M. Horton features a starboard quarter view of a three-masted (tern) schooner under full sail on a close reach in a smart breeze, with the starboard side lifting as the ship rolls to port. A full cargo of lumber is stowed on the deck of this coastal freighter, while a patent log is towed astern to measure speed and distance run. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE
La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
