Loading ...on the occasion of the centennial of Canada’s confederation. The Canadian mint issued new coinage and offered a beautiful boxed set of a gold coin and all of the silver coins . The interior was white satin with indentations for each coin , while the exterior was royal blue velvet plush . The box itself was hinged with a spring loaded snap lid . I cannot remember the price , but I was still a college student at the time , so it could not have been too much .
As an aside , my maternal grandmother was born in 1867 , the year of confederation. I was her only grandchild , born when she was 73 .
