15 Dollars - Charles III Three-masted Schooner

The three-masted schooner was the workhorse of Canadian coastal and Great Lakes trade through the nineteenth century, and the type persisted in active commercial use on the Great Lakes well into the 1920s — longer than almost anywhere else in the world, primarily because lake conditions and cargo economics made sail competitive against early steam. The Alma and vessels like her were still hauling lumber and grain under canvas when automobiles were already common on the docks receiving them.

This is a 2025 bullion-adjacent collector issue from the RCM's ongoing fine silver series under Charles III's effigy, which first appeared on Canadian coinage following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.
