It was first minted as patterns in medieval Britain and France where they played a key role in standardizing coinage. Also, they were used by French kings as presentation pieces. Celebrate the history of the piedfort with this 1996 Proof Silver $2 Piedfort Coin included in this set. This is the first time that the Mint issued a piedfort and it comes with the $2 polar bear design of Brent Townsend on the reverse and an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pedery-Hunt on the obverse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe set also contains two uncut BRX $2 bank notes which are part of the fifth series of notes issued by the Bank of Canada in 1986 featuring the theme of Canadian birds.
