2025 Canada $25 The Calling of an Engineer – Fine Silver Coin

A Mint FIRST! Our ode to engineers has a faceted edge and rim shaped like the Iron Ring.

A most honourable vocation, the field of engineering draws many of Canada’s best and brightest—individuals dedicated to innovation and problem-solving, and improving our lives. Upon earning their degree, Canada’s engineering graduates are invited to take part in an obligation ceremony, where they are conferred the Iron Ring that is a symbol of their professional values and responsibilities. That faceted ring inspired this coin’s uniquely shaped edge, itself an impressive feat of engineering. On the coin’s reverse, the ring-like rim rises up to encircle our homage to Canada’s engineers and their many varied achievements, on the 100ᵗʰ anniversary of the rite of passage known as The Calling of an Engineer.

Honouring Canada’s engineers with our own feat of engineering.

An homage to Canada’s engineers, the reverse design by artist Pandora Young is a representation of a century of engineering innovation and achievements. The diverse field is represented by (clockwise from top): a computer screen with a robotic hand, set against an AI-inspired dot design; a wire gauge; the chemical diagram for insulin partially shown; a test tube and dropper; a hand holding a pencil; a spur gear next to a compass and the tip of a protractor; a soldering iron; and a computer chip. In the centre, the word “CANADA” appears in blueprint lettering, along with the double dates “1925-2025” commemorating the 100th anniversary (“1925-2025”) of the Calling of an Engineer—a rite of passage for Canada’s engineering graduates. The raised rim is uniquely shaped to resemble the Iron Ring worn by Canadian engineers as a symbol of professional obligation. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.Enclosed in an oversized capsule for better viewing, your coin is presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
