Epic tale - Epic celebration! This historic settlement at Ile Sainte-Croix shaped the course of the New World. And on its 400th anniversary, commemorative events are being planned on both sides of the Atlantic. France has begun its celebrations by issuing its own commemorative coin and stamp, and they've joined their Canadian counterparts to create this exclusive set with unprecedented international flair. Produced in collaboration with Canada Post, La Monnaie de Paris, and La Poste (France), this exclusive set includes two silver coins, each featuring a unique fleur-de-lis privy mark, and four commemorative postage stamps (two mint condition and two cancelled). Serialized certificate included!
The Beginning of a Permanent European Presence in Northern North America
The winter of 1604-1605 on Saint Croix Island was a cruel one for Pierre Dugua's French expedition. Iced in by freezing temperatures and cut off from fresh water and game, 35 of 79 men died. As spring arrived and native people traded game for bread, the health of those remaining improved. Although the expedition moved on by summer, the beginning of French presence in North America had begun.
