Request information

After exploring the South Pacific and crossing the Antarctic Circle in his first two voyages, Captain James Cook (1728-1779) turned his attention to the north for his third epic voyage, setting sail for the fabled Northwest Passage—a quest that brought his expedition to our western shores in 1778. Your gold-plated coin commemorates Cook's historic arrival on the west coast of present-day Vancouver Island, near Yuquot, the summer home of the Mowachhat people. Rich in detail, your intricately engraved coin depicts HMS Resolution from the viewpoint of the native people who greeted and traded with the two-ship expedition that left an indelible impact on Canada's early history.
