This fine silver collectable coin features the seafaring Captain James Cook (1728-1779), an iconic explorer who contributed to Canada's rich history. From the Bering Strait to the Antarctic Circle, and many of the Pacific islands in between, this British navigator charted more terra incognita than any other in his time. The year 2018 marked the 240th anniversary of Cook's arrival at the summer village of the Nuu-chah-nulth, at Nootka Sound, which led to increased international trade and exploration along Canada's western shores.
