Product Details:
A BEHIND-THE-SCENES PEEK! A glimpse of the Royal Canadian Mint's archives!
JOINING TWO MILESTONES! On the 150th anniversary of Confederation, we look back on history to re-visit proposed coin
designs from another milestone year: Confederation's Diamond Jubilee in 1927!
A FIRST! This marks the first time these designs have appeared on coins, and they may be the only coin designs submitted to the
Royal Canadian Mint by Group of Seven co-founder J.E.H. MacDonald and renowned muralist Gustav Hahn! You could say these
coins were 90 years in the making!
A CAREFUL BALANCE! Our team of engravers pored over every little detail of the original sketches in order to interpret each
artist's vision, while adapting it for today's engraving techniques and finishes.
A DESIGN THAT STANDS OUT! The matte field on each coin puts the focus squarely on the beautifully engraved elements that truly shine!
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coin sets.
Most of these are serialized certifications, meaning that each certificate is given a unique number, starting at 1.
LOW MINTAGE! This coin set is limited to just 5,500 sets worldwide.
EACH COIN IS ONE OUNCE OF 99.99% PURE SILVER!
Design:
All three coins feature the unused circulation coin designs intended to commemorate Canada's Diamond Jubilee in 1927.
Working with the original sketches (and little else), the Royal Canadian Mint's engravers set out to interpret each artist's
vision as though the art had been entrusted to them today, to mark Confederation's 150th anniversary.
The 90-year-old concepts have been painstakingly adapted for modern engraving techniques—including a reverse proof finish that
allows the more brilliant engraved elements to shine bright against the matte backdrop.
Five-cent coin design:
The five-cent coin by Canadian artist J.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932) features a crowned lion gripping a maple leaf as it stands
perched on a rock, which represents the changing Canadian landscape cradled by the sea; beneath the forepaw is Canada's motto,
"A MARI USQUE AD MARE" ("From Sea to Sea"), while the commemorative dates "1867" and "2017" are inscribed beside the lion.
