With place-names that can be traced to a multitude of European and Aboriginal cultures, it reveals the diversity of people who played a role in this epic tale that spanned centuries—the French, British, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish and First Nation peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it was the three super powers of the age that yielded the greatest influence on the map’s formation. After warring for centuries for domination in Europe, they set their sights on North America. Spain colonized the continent from the South, the British along the Atlantic Coast and the French expanded inland via the St. Lawrence Valley and the eastern seaboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean, they had more than sailors, soldiers and guns on board. They also carried merchants, farmers, fishers, peasant families and adventurous traders all eager to enjoy the freedom and prosperity the New World offered. Yet, as they toiled to build new lives, they did so against an undercurrent of hostility between their homelands and the constant threat of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the 18th century, the conflict was primarily between Britain and France—and it intensified with far-reaching, grasping arms. The early colonists who were primarily concerned with harvesting a livelihood from the land and sea were invariably drawn into the conflict, as were First Nations people who had long-standing alliances with the Europeans, but were equally interested in protecting their own interests.\u003cbr\u003eAfter two years, the struggle reached a breaking point when open warfare broke out in the Ohio Valley. Britain officially declared war on France one year later in 1756, and the war that ensued became one of history’s greatest wars since the fall of the Roman Empire. The Seven Years War was the world’s first global conflict extending far beyond North America to Europe, India and Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn North America, the English colonies along the eastern seaboard, and the French forts extending from the St. Lawrence River to the Great Lakes and south beyond the Ohio Valley, determined how the war would be fought as the opponents struggled to control each stronghold. When the conflict ended in 1763, the lives of North America’s early citizens changed forever as new boundaries were drawn up. Yet, the foundation was laid for Canada as the world knows it today—the lands that define the nation, as well as the linguistic and cultural diversity of its people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175852408964,"sku":"124755\/CSD13.2","price":137.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2013_Limited_Edition_Fine_Silver_Dollar_250th_ann_of_the_end_of_the_Seven_Years_War_reverse__96899.1364546108.386.513__24621.1364840717.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759511989"},{"product_id":"2013-special-edition-uncirculated-set-the-war-of-1812","title":"2013 SPECIAL EDITION UNCIRCULATED SET- THE WAR OF 1812","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe War of 1812 was a fundamental turning point in Canada’s development as a nation.

She was built at Saint John (New Brunswick) and entered service in December 1941. The corvette class, with 122 built in Canada by war’s end, had elevated the RCN to the third largest navy in the World.\u003cbr\u003eHMCS Sackville gained recognition for engaging three U-boats at sea. Although she sustained heavy damage, Sackville was retained for post-war service, first as a training ship and afterwards as a research vessel for the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.

Many felt compelled to act, to rush to the aid of the oppressed and join the fight for freedom. As soldiers, sailors and airmen headed into battle, nurses, doctors and support personnel were not far behind. Faith and hope survived the battlefield by finding refuge in the hearts of clergymen. On the home front, people took to the factories to build military equipment and assemble supplies. They supported the war effort in any way they could. Regardless of the role each person played, War was now their acquaintance and heartbreak would soon be calling. It arrived in the form of physical pain, haunting memories and the irreparable torment of human loss. These were the times that bravery and self-sacrifice found their true definition.

The word “CANADA” was engraved on the medal’s obverse in order to distinguish it from those medals awarded to Canadian military personnel. The 2013 issue date and a one dollar denomination have been added to transform the design from medal into a coin. In adapting the Korea Medal for this coin, Royal Canadian Mint engravers faithfully preserved Edward Carter Preston’s original design of Hercules, the idealized warrior from Roman mythology, slaying the indomitable hydra-headed monster as an allegory for the perilous struggles of war, and a tribute to those who freely go to battle. In addition, the original engraving of “KOREA” has been expanded to include “CORÉE” in order to reflect Canada’s official status as a bilingual nation. The obverse also features the same effigy that appeared on the original medal; the 1953 portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Mary Gillick, which was also in use on Canadian coins in this time period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e 1 of only 3 proof silver dollar coins in the Royal Canadian Mint’s product offering for 2013, struck in 99.99% Fine Silver –GST\/HST exempt!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Faithful reproduction of the Canadian version of the Korea Medal, using five modern finishing techniques, giving this well-known medal new luster and definition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Custom graphic beauty box displaying the Korea Medal featuring medal ribbon textures and graphical homage to those who fought in the Korean War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e A momentous tribute to Canada’s veterans who contributed to a significant chapter in their nation’s history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e Features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 effigy as it appeared on the original Korea Medal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e The Royal Canadian Mint will make a donation from the sale of each coin to Canadian Korean War Veteran organizations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eItem Number: 124118\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eUPC: 6-23932-04643-6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eFace Value: 1 dollar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eMintage: 10,000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eComposition: 99.99% fine silver\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eWeight (g): 23.17\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eDiameter (mm): 36.07\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eEdge: Serrated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eFinish: Proof\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eCertificate: Serialized\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eArtist: Original medal by Edward Carter Preston\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eCoin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case lined with black flock and protected by a customized beauty box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eFinished Size: 67 x 67 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Certificate Text:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eThe Herculean trials of war\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e60th Anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement (1953-2013)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eOn July 27, 1953, officials signed the armistice agreement that brought combat in Korea to an end.

The design’s focal point is a rarely seen overhead view of the Angel of Victory statue, one of three identical bronze memorials created by Montreal-based sculptor Coeur de Lion MacCarthy. Here, the statue is a powerful reminder of the human cost of the war, embodied by the fallen Canadian combatant held by an ascending angel, who also holds a laurel wreath in her left hand. The two figures overlap the frame, which was inspired by Canada’s one-cent circulation coin at the time of the First World War (1914 -1918); a wreath of 16 maple leaves represents a contemporary twist on the maple vine design seen on all Canadian pennies between 1858 and 1920, while two rings of dots – one with 100 dots, the other with 140 – are kept intact from W.H.J.

Backed by rays of hope that fill the field, the selectively gold-plated “11” resembles Corinthian-styled columns rising up from atop a grand staircase, with an overall form that faintly echoes the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. Peace laurels symbolize the Armistice and the ensuing peace, while the gold-plated maple leaf proudly pays homage to the Canadian and Newfoundlander combatants of the First World War. Framed by the gold-plated rim, the reverse also includes the engraved word “CANADA”, the commemorative dates “1918 – 2018” and the face value, “DOLLAR”.

Within the laiton-plated inner core, a soldier’s helmet represents the end of the First World War and serves as a solemn reminder of the many lives lost during history’s first mechanized war. Below the helmet lies a large poppy, the official bloom of remembrance inspired by the Canadian poem In Flanders Fields, and whose bright scarlet colour is re-created on selectively coloured versions of the $2 coin. To represent English and French, two more poppies are engraved on the nickel-plated outer ring, which includes a banner bearing the bilingual words “REMEMBER”, “SOUVENIR” and the year “2018”.
