| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing provincial and territorial puzzle series, this issue is one of several interlocking coins designed so that multiple pieces from the set physically fit together edge-to-edge to form a composite image. New Brunswick's entry in the series draws on the province's position as one of the original four Confederation members of 1867.
The .9999 fine silver specification — four-nines purity rather than the more common sterling .925 — reflects the RCM's post-2011 move toward higher-purity collector strikes across most of its numismatic silver program.
