2020 - $50 - 5 oz. Pure Silver Coin – 175th Anniversary of Franklin's Lost Expedition
# MC21149
Sold out
$679.95
The story of Franklin's expedition unfolds on this "ice"-edged 5 oz. pure silver coin.
It was the Arctic voyage that launched a 170-year search. Sir John Franklin's lost expedition is one of history's greatest mysteries and, until recently, it seemed fated to remain unsolved. But by combining technology with Inuit traditional knowledge (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit), archaeologists recently discovered two key pieces of the story that may yield more answers: Franklin's lost ships, including the one shown on this coin.
