For a young, growing colony, the opening of a domestic mint was a confident step towards nationhood. In 1931, the Mint transformed from a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint to a wholly Canadian institution and, by 1937, the first \"-all-Canadian\" coin designs-like the 1-cent maple leaf, the 5-cent beaver and the 10-cent Bluenose began circulating. These renowned coin designs are still in use today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\"\u003eFrom the beginning, innovation has been the hallmark of the Mint with a revolutionary coin plating process, the purest 99.999% numismatic gold coin and the first colored circulation coin are just a few of the Mint’s internationally-renowned \"firsts\"- each a source of pride for collectors and Canadians alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;\"\u003e This set takes you back 100 years to the 50-cent coin of 1908-Canada’s first domestically produced coin.
