5 oz. Pure Silver Coin - Celebrating Canada's Classic Icons - Mintage: 1,200 (2019)

With a country as vast and beautifully diverse as ours, it is a next-to-impossible task to represent Canada in a single image. So, we’ve gathered several classic icons to show our Canadian pride in a big way! From the stately caribou, whose call reverberates across our Boreal forests, to the grizzly bear, an icon of Canada’s west coast, these are some of the images featured on your 5 oz. pure silver coin.

They remind Canadians that our differences are our greatest strength when we come together under our most iconic symbol of all: that proud, red-coloured maple leaf.

The contemporary-styled design by Patrick Bélanger weaves together a magnificent mix of Canadian icons that have long represented the nation’s spirit. Struck incuse against a proof finish, a flock of Canadian geese take to the skies above the prominent maple leaf. Within this leaf’s pointed edges lies an array of strongly symbolic images: an imposing grizzly bear; a grouping of maple leaves; a mighty caribou, whose call reverberates across the Boreal forests; and a historic coastal landmark, a lighthouse. An overlay of translucent red enamel tints the maple leaf and the engraved elements beneath it, while different frostings create contrast from within. The reverse includes the engraved words “CANADA 2019” and the face value, “50 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with black beauty box.
