| Additional information |
The "Fishing Trade" coin was part of Canada's Trade and Commerce series, which the Royal Canadian Mint launched to commemorate industries that shaped the country's colonial and post-colonial economy. The Atlantic cod fishery in particular had driven European settlement patterns along the eastern seaboard for centuries before catastrophic stock collapse prompted the federal government's 1992 moratorium — a closure so economically devastating that it rendered some 35,000 Newfoundland fishers and plant workers unemployed virtually overnight.
Mintage for this issue was capped at 4,000 pieces.
