Reflect on a moment of Canadian history with this fine silver collectable coin honouring the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s momentous journey to Huronia, and the invention of the astrolabe which is attributed to Champlain himself. Champlain’s most notable achievement from this journey was his detailed account of the culture of the Huron and Algonquin peoples and his cartography and description of the region now known as Ontario.
