Where it came from
The 2020 10-dollar coin featuring the 15-sol piece of Louis XIV is part of the Royal Canadian Mint's Relics of New France series. This collection was developed to commemorate the numismatic history of Canada during the French colonial era, specifically highlighting coins that circulated within the settlements of New France. The series aims to bridge the gap between modern Canadian legal tender and the historical artifacts that facilitated early trade and economic development in North America.
The design draws directly from the iconography of the 17th-century 15-sol coin, which was commissioned by King Louis XIV. The Mint utilized high-relief technology to capture the texture and patina of the original struck metal, contrasting the antique finish with the modern purity of silver. As a numismatic commemorative piece, the design was received by collectors as a faithful historical tribute, valued for its educational focus on colonial maritime and trade history rather than general circulation.
