This silver dollar is dedicated to the 150th anniversary the of that transatlantic telegraph cable. Telegraphy had sped up communication over land, yet oceans still stood as immense, silent barriers - that is, until the successful completion of a permanent transatlantic telegraph cable on July 27, 1866. This watershed moment finally provided an enduring communication link between the Old World and the New, and made Newfoundland a vital gateway to a world that had suddenly become more accessible!
