Original heavy canvas coin bag used for handling bulk Canadian 50-cent coins. The front is boldly printed “CANADA – 50 CENTS – $1000” with bilingual instructions to return the bag to the Royal Canadian Mint.

These utilitarian Mint bags were working pieces rather than souvenirs, which gives this one strong appeal as Canadian numismatic, banking and institutional memorabilia. Comparable authentic Royal Canadian Mint canvas bags are collectible in their own right, and auction records show RCM bags trading alongside other historic Mint bags. APMEX
