The term "Shinplaster" refers to fractional paper money issued in Canada during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often in denominations less than a dollar. These notes earned their nickname due to their small size and sometimes flimsy nature, which made them reminiscent of plaster used to cover a shin. The 2005 Shinplaster gold coin celebrates these historic notes, recreating their design elements in a luxurious, long-lasting medium. The coin commemorates Canada’s monetary heritage, reflecting both the artistry and historical significance of early Canadian currency.
