3597) Canada’s 2025 Peace Dollar Features Several Firsts: A $1 and $50 (Dollars - CAN) minted by the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM): Date/Year of Coin issue: 2025:
2025 marks the 5th anniversary of the Royal Canadian
Mint’s Peace Dollar series.
To celebrate this first milestone anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has commissioned something historic:
- the FIRST design
change in the series, completed by the artist behind the original
design—retired RCM Senior Engraver Susan Taylor.
The Obverse and Reverse of the first design change in the Series.
The Reverse of the $1 and $50 (Dollars - CAN) Silver Coins
Rather than just showing Lady Peace’s head and face,
Taylor based the new design on her original work from the 2019 Peace &
Liberty Medal, but now “zoomed-out” to show Lady Peace striding alongside a
Canadian shoreline.
The image is rich in symbolism and enhanced by a dazzling
proof finish.
What’s more, this release will be the FIRST annual
Canadian Peace Dollar issue featuring the effigy of King Charles III on the
obverse.
The Obverse of the $1 and $50 (Dollars - CAN) Silver Coins.
Instead of using the “standard” King Charles III effigy
by Great Britain’s Royal Mint, Canada has continued its tradition of using
Canadian-designed effigies. This brand-new effigy was designed by Steven
Rosati, a Canadian award-winning portrait artist and member of the Portrait
Society of Canada.
An Exquisite Combination Of Three Finishes:
This legal-tender $1 coin was struck in one Troy ounce of
highly pure 99.99% silver, and brilliantly combines three finishes!
These brilliant coins were minted using a combination of
three different finishing effects that are used to accentuate the detail and
craft of Taylor’s incredible design.
-
The sky and ocean are treated with
polished surfaces.
-
Lady Peace and the sand of the coastline
are treated with high frost. And
-
the clouds, sun, and the maple leaves
upon which Lady Peace strides atop are treated with something near to a satin
finish.
These 2025 Canada $1 One-Ounce Silver Peace Dollar Proof
coins have a mintage of 8,000 pieces.
