2025 $15 Three-Masted Schooner Tall Ships Pure Silver Coin

Travel back to the era of the tall ships with this 2025 $15 pure silver coin. Between 1880 and 1920, hundreds of tern schooners were launched from shipyards throughout Atlantic Canada. Built with a high carrying capacity and smaller crew requirements, the terns supplanted the square-rigged ships as the backbone of the coastal trade by the end of the 19th century, when these were the wind-powered equivalent to the freight trucks of today.

The selectively coloured design by Canadian marine artist John M. Horton features a starboard quarter view of a three-masted (tern) schooner under full sail on a close reach in a smart breeze, with the starboard side lifting as the ship rolls to port. A full cargo of lumber is stowed on the deck of this coastal freighter, while a patent log is towed astern to measure speed and distance run. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
