    This year's Commemorative Silver Dollar is struck in 99.99% pure silver!

    Imagine discovering a glimmering vein of silver in the middle of Ontario's wilderness! This is precisely what happened to Fred La Rose, a blacksmith who was forging rails for the railway in northern Ontario in 1903. According to local legend, he tossed his hammer to scare off a pesky fox but struck a rock, revealing a vein of silver the size of which the world had never seen! Literally overnight, Cobalt became an international sensation as countless prospectors and mining companies rushed to stake their claim at this incredible site!
