Each provincial or territorial coat of arms is a considered reflection of the land it represents, and when all 13 are viewed together, they speak to the nature of Canada as a whole. Your 14-coin set is a colourful celebration of Canada through some of our most famous heraldic emblems. Each province and territory is emblematically represented on a 25-cent coin, where an engraved maple flourish frames the colourized arms. And this showcase of Canadian heraldry wouldn’t be complete without our national armorial bearings, the Arms of Canada, which occupy a place of honour on the larger-sized $5 coin.
