2015 Canadian Special Edition Silver Dollar Proof Set - 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Flag

2015 Canadian Special Edition Silver Dollar Proof Set - 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Flag

The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to present the 2015 Special Edition Silver Dollar Proof set of Canadian coinage. This is the first time that two proof sets are available, each featuring a different design on the proof dollar coin. They are also the only sets to feature the commemorative silver dollar selectively coloured and the gold-plated one-dollar coin depicting the common loon. The elegant genuine leather book-style packaging, with removable lens, splendidly complements these fine coins. Mintage of this set has been limited worldwide.

No other symbol is as synonymous with Canada as its distinctive red-and-white flag. To Canadians at home and abroad, the red maple leaf unites us and instills a sense of belonging regardless of our different cultures, languages and beliefs. As the National Flag of Canada celebrates its 50th anniversary, the Royal Canadian Mint proudly pays tribute to a beloved national symbol by showcasing the flag on the Special Edition Proof Silver Dollar.

Design

Designed by Canadian artist John Mantha, the silver dollar brings together symbolic elements in a telling image that is representative of Canada on the 50th anniversary of its national flag. Standing in a vast land of opportunity a family holds hands as they look beyond the horizon towards a hopeful future. Above them, the familiar national flag with its bold maple leaf fills much of the image field as it billows in the wind. The entirety is framed by 50 maple leafs, each one representing a year since the National Flag of Canada was first raised in 1965.
