Design: Marine artist Yves Bérubé found his inspiration for this coin’s design while he was aboard an ice-locked ship and watched through a porthole as the Louis S. St-Laurent came to the rescue - a vision that perfectly embodies the CCG’s past, present and future.

Packaging:  Every fine silver coin is accompanied by a piece of steel from the ship’s pre-refit bow. It is showcased in a Canadian Maple wood case.
