Comment
Made by the Lombardo Mint. Was a series of at least 12 but cannot confirm the numbers in the series.
Bluenose II is a replica of the fishing and racing schooner Bluenose, commissioned by Sidney Culverwell Oland and built in 1963 as a promotional yacht for Oland Brewery. Sidney Oland donated the schooner to Nova Scotia in 1971 and it has since operated as a sailing ambassador and promotional device for Nova Scotia tourism. In honor of her predecessor's record, Bluenose II does not officially race.
