The 2020 Connecting Canada set is a multipart celebration of who we are: a nation of diverse scenery and species bound together by our three coasts — and we’re fiercely proud of it.

This special edition coin set features designs that include the engraved latitude and longitude coordinates for points on Canada’s Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic coasts. A patriotic red colour has been added to the portions of the maple leaf shown on every coin. When the three coins are viewed as one design, the three different designs come together to proudly, and colourfully, complete our image of Canada.

This affordable set is an opportunity to share your passion for coins, for Canada, and all the wonders that lie within our ocean borders.
