The Charlottetown and Québec Conferences of 1864 were the foundational negotiations that produced the 72 Resolutions — the blueprint for Canadian Confederation three years later. Charlottetown in September was convivial and brief, more about gauging appetite than drafting terms. Québec City in October was where the real work happened, seventeen days of closed sessions producing a constitutional framework that the Colonial Office in London found workable enough to legislate into the British North America Act of 1867.
The coin's 14-karat gold composition — unusual enough to note — was the RCM's standard alloy for this commemorative $100 series throughout the period.
