MANITOBA 150: The year 2020 marked the 150th anniversary of Manitoba's entry into Confederation, and in honour of this milestone, we've re-created the 1970 Manitoba Centennial nickel dollar on a 2 oz. pure silver coin. Its prairie crocus design is a beautiful, symbolic tribute to the province, its history and its people!
HISTORIC OBVERSE: Just like the original issue in 1970, the obverse features Arnold Machin's 1964 effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
LASER-ENGRAVED FIELD PATTERN: Behind the effigy, the laser-engraved Manitoba 150 logo forms a cutting-edge field pattern that commemorates the anniversary.
A CLASSIC DESIGN! The reverse design looks nearly the same as the original coin, except for the higher face value and the double dates ("1870-2020") that reflect the anniversary.
A PRECIOUS METAL UPGRADE: The 1970 coin was crafted from 99.9% nickel but this piece is crafted from 2 oz. of 99.99% pure silver.
LARGER SIZE: This pure silver coin also weighs 62.69 g and has a diameter of 50 mm. It's much larger than the 1970 commemorative dollar, which measured 32.13 mm and weighed 15.62 g.
A SPECIAL CONNECTION: We're celebrating too! Winnipeg, Man., is home to our state-of-the-art facility—it's where every Canadian circulation coin has been produced since 1976—and the Royal Canadian Mint family includes many proud Manitobans!
INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE: The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
