Description

The final new Virtue for the South Dakota 25 Goldback Denomination is Laurea, or Honor. This illustration was largely inspired by one of the legends told about Maiden’s Isle on Lake Kampeska, one of South Dakota’s glacial lakes. There are many legends and stories about many of the glacial lakes, but this story is about a young woman named Minnecotah who was in love with a hunter from another area. In the legend, many local men wanted to marry her, but she was waiting for her true love from Wahpeton. In order to delay their advances, she told them that she would marry the man who could throw a stone the farthest into the lake.

The men did so for days, with Minnecotah encouraging them and delaying further by saying that she could not tell who had thrown the farthest because of the waves. For a while this worked and an island began to form in the lake. Then, realizing that the contest was a ruse, her suitors kidnapped her and placed her on the island they had created, giving her no food, in an attempt to force her to either choose one of the suitors or die of starvation. Minnecotah decided to remain true to her love and honor their commitment to each other, deciding to not choose one of the suitors. While she was living on the island, waiting for her true love, a white pelican brought her fish and berries to help her survive. Eventually, the hunter that she loved returned and took her away to live with him. When the suitors from her tribe discovered that she was gone, they believed that the sun god had sent the white pelican to take her away.

For this reason Laurea stands on a stone island in the lake, representing Maiden’s Isle from Lake Kampeska. A pelican can be seen flying above her and raspberries can be seen in the foreground. Also present in this illustration are many elements from the Lakota legend of the flute, the legend of how the porcupine got its quills, and the legend of the dream catcher as told by the Aktá Lakota Museum & Cultural Center. She encourages the viewer not only to honor their commitments and keep their word, but to praise the Maker of all, even through one’s trials, by the accompanied inscription “Honor to the Giver”.

Where is my order sent from?

Depending on your purchase, your order will be sent directly from our warehouse or directly from the mint.

How do I know when my order has been sent?

You’ll receive an email with details, including a tracking link, when we send your order. You can also log into your account to view the order status.

How long will it take for my products to arrive?

Once we receive payment, you’ll be sent an email receipt stating it has been paid for, and your products will be sent out within 1-2 business days. Most payments will have a holding period depending on the payment form. For example, if you pay via check, the holding period for payment clearance can take up to 5 business days. Once your product is shipped, you can expect delivery within 1-3 business days, on average, across the US or Canada. This varies depending on the carrier, time of the year (Christmas post is often slower, for example) and other factors.

Do I need to sign for my package?

If your order is valued at under $1,000, you won’t need to sign for it unless you have chosen this option at checkout. More valuable items will need a signature. If you are not home to accept the delivery, you will receive a notification from the shipping company to make other arrangements.

Does insurance cover my purchase during shipment?

Yes! All packages sent by CanAm Bullion are fully insured so if anything happens enroute to your address, it will be covered provided the Terms and Conditions are met. We will investigate and file a claim if the package is lost or stolen.

What do I do if my package has been tampered with?

Shipping insurance ends the moment you sign for your package, so we recommend you refuse any delivery that looks to have been tampered with. If you refuse the package, it will be sent back to CanAm, and we will follow up. Call our customer service team within 48 hours if your product is damaged.

What happens if my order goes missing during shipment?

All packages that CanAm Bullion sends out are insured, provided they meet certain conditions. If your order gets lost in transit (3 days UPS, 7 days USPS), you need to contact us, and we will start a claim process with the shipping company. The claims process can take 30 days or more. If your package arrives after we start the claims process, you must let us know right away.

What happens if my order is broken during shipment?

CanAm sends all our bullion products in high quality packaging, so breakages are highly unlikely. However, should this occur, contact our team within 48 hours of delivery, and we will start the claims process with the shipping company.

What happens if my order never arrived, but the courier says it was delivered?

Packages that have been dispatched to the correct address and have been delivered will not be eligible for a refund or insurance claim from CanAm Bullion. You assume full risk and liability for the shipment once it has been delivered (either by signing for it or by us leaving it at the specified delivery address). CanAm Bullion MUST be notified of any shipment issues within two calendar days of recorded delivery.
