Discover Canada’s pre-confederation past with this limited-edition 2020 $200 half-ounce gold coin. In the early 1600s, as Europeans sought wealth on North American shores through the fur trade, Samuel de Champlain established Quebec City and relied on Louis Hébert—a skilled apothecary and farmer—to sustain the settlement.
