The design features a powerful personification of Canada—of its history, its people and its spirit. It is a visual embodiment of a nation celebrating its 150-year journey, while looking ahead to the future. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe coin contains about three quarters of an ounce of pure silver, has a diameter of 36.07 mm, and has a limited mintage of 30,000.

Canada is the picture of grace and a vision of strength in her protective armour; and yet she carries no weapon—a symbolic representation of our efforts to bring peace throughout the world. Facing out as though looking to the future, Canada’s gaze is calm and steady while her arms are open wide, ready to embrace what challenges and triumphs lie ahead. In one hand is a symbolic representation of the British North America Act, which represents the birth of the Dominion of Canada 150 years ago; in the other hand is a single feather that pays tribute to those who helped forge our nation’s path: the First Nations peoples and the Fathers of Confederation. A fur cape is a further reminder of First Nations traditions, as well as the importance of the fur trade in Canada’s early history. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirteen rays of light—one for each province and territory—shine down upon Canada, while the waves at her feet represent the oceans that surround us.
