About the Coin

Canada is a vast country. The drive to bring us all closer together — from coast to coast to coast— has led to some amazing achievements, including the building of our massive nationwide railway system.

The new 2017 $1 coin, Connecting a Nation, pays tribute to Sir John A. Macdonald's vision of a national railway to unite the country — and celebrates the skill and drive that made that vision real through the steam age into the diesel era. Featuring impressive landmarks along the country's rail routes — from the Lion's Gate Bridge in British Columbia to the Grand Banks of the East Coast — its inspiring design is testament to our spirit of exploration and ingenuity, depicting the sights and scenes that call Canadians to each other — and the world to Canada.

The tie that binds these coins is the Canada 150 logo, whose mosaic of 13 triangular shapes --one for each province and territory --evokes memories of the 1967 emblem.

Royal Canadian Mint issued 1 dollar coin for circulation in 2017. Item comes in proof-like condition.
