The Marco Polo
Built in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1851 by James Smith, the Marco Polo for a time was considered to be the fastest ship in the world and named the "Queen of the Seas." The Marco Polo beat the world record run from England to Australia by a full week and reached England from Canada in 15 days on her record breaking maiden voyage.

Commemorate this historical vessel with this 2001 Canada $20 Transportation Ship – Marco Polo Sterling Silver Coin. The Royal Canadian Mint created a coin series that included this coin to focus on innovations contributing to the rich Canadian history of transportation. The holographic cameo on each coin in this series depicts the form of transportation: land, sea, or rail. This coin features a hologram of the marine vessel.
This beautiful coin comes encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint oval-shaped metal clamshell case and custom Transportation Series box with a Certificate of Authenticity. With a mintage of only 41,828, this is a unique piece to add to your collection.
