2002 Canadian Festival
50-Cent Sterling Silver Coins
Canada is a land of many
peoples. For hundreds of years they have come from all corners of the
globe. With them, they have brought stories from their homelands. The Canadian
Folklore and Legends Series celebrates this tapestry of Canadian
multiculturalism with fun and exciting coins that tell tales of honesty,
consequences and courage.
 The
Shoemaker in Heaven - (#624502)
The Shoemaker in Heaven tells the
story of a simple shoemaker who, even though he fears he did something
wrong, finds that honesty is best.
 The
Ghost Ship - (#624512)
Though outnumbered, a courageous French
captain fights for freedom. Engulfed in fire and smoke, his ship vanishes,
only to be seen time and again as a shadowy image - The Ghost Ship -
sailing the high seas.
 The
Pig That Wouldn’t Get Over the Stile - (#624522)
The tale of The Pig That Wouldn’t Get
Over the Stile makes the point that every action has a consequence and
that there are no shortcuts in life.
