Express your pride in Canada! On the 150th anniversary of Confederation, proud Canadians across the country are celebrating what it means to be Canadian in 2017. This special edition proof dollar is the perfect keepsake to preserve the spirit of this national celebration for years to come, while conveying the deep sense of pride that can be felt from coast to coast to coast! A key Canadian keepsake in 99.99% fine silver. Just as the 1967 coins evoke memories of Canada’s Centennial year, this powerfully symbolic collectible is the perfect snapshot of its time!
The reverse design by Canadian artist Jamie Desrochers captures the celebratory spirit of a nation in 2017. Viewed from a unique perspective, the map of Canada has a distinctive dimensional feel to it as the viewer’s eye sweeps across the nation. The focal point itself is the large “150” at the centre; enhanced with vibrant red enamel and superimposed on the map, the “150” is as large as the nature of the celebrations commemorating the 150th anniversary of Confederation. Below it, the words “CANADA”, “DOLLAR” and commemorative dates “1867-2017” are also engraved in Heritage Canada’s official font for the occasion, alongside the CANADA 150 logo. Behind it all is Canada’s national flag, rendered in laser frosting that gives it an ethereal feel—a fitting way to convey the swelling sense of pride and patriotism that, though unseen, can be found within Canadian hearts during this momentous year.
Express your pride about what it means to be Canadian! While the design incorporates visual elements that instantly resonate with all Canadians, the “150” engraved on the reverse and enhanced with vibrant red enamel is as large as our celebratory spirit in 2017! The reverse also includes the official CANADA 150 logo to help preserve the memories of this milestone year within your collection—to be admired and revisited for years to come!
