1989 Canada Proof Set was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint and features the commemorative Mackenzie River Bicentennial Silver Dollar (1789–1989). Struck in exceptional proof quality, this complete seven-coin set includes all Canadian circulation denominations from 1 Cent to 1 Dollar, beautifully presented in original Royal Canadian Mint packaging.
The highlight of the set is the 1989 Mackenzie River Silver Dollar, struck in .500 fine silver, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Sir Alexander Mackenzie’s historic Arctic expedition.
