Période

circa 2005

Canada

Commemorates a Canadian built fire engine. This coin, diffused around the world, depicts one fire engine made by Bickle Fire Engines Ltd. in 1932. R.S. Bickle established a fire fighting equipment manufacturing business in Winnipeg, MN in 1906 and in 1914 moved to Woodstock, ON. From 1928 to 1938 the company developed its own line of custom fire engines with four models, one of which was the Chieftain. The 1932 Chieftain Triple Combination Pumper was service in the Montreal West Fire Department from 1932 to 1969.

Fonction

Used as a $1.00 coin in the Cook Islands of New Zealand and as a collectable item made to commemorate an antique fire engine.

Technique

One of a 5000 coin mintage. This coin acknowledges that in Canada, Canadian manufacturers of fire-fighting vehicles co-existed with American firms thanks to the specialty aspect of their production. This coin is the first of series entitled "Fire Engines of the World" produced by the Perth Mint in Australia
