Canada’s 2024 Peace Dollar Is A Contrast Of Firsts And Lasts
In 2020, the prestigious Royal Canadian Mint released its first-ever Peace Dollar—and it sold out in less than five days! Now, for 2024—the 5th year in this already popular series—Canada’s Peace Dollar has been struck for the FIRST time with selective 24-karat yellow gold plating to the one-ounce silver size coin. The story doesn’t end there, however, as this year’s coin features a stunning contrast of firsts and lasts. Think we’re joking? Let’s check off this year’s special features: It boasts an intricate, dramatic new field pattern with elements from the crown on Lady’s Peace’s head on the obverse and reverse. Additionally, this release will be the LAST annual issue featuring the current bust of Lady Peace, and it will be the LAST time the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II graces the obverse.
Peace Reigns Supreme On Susan Taylor Design
Crafted by retired Royal Canadian Mint Senior Engraver Susan Taylor—winner of the 2016 American Medal of the Year Award and the designer of the International Art Medal Federation 2018 Congress Medal—the design for this superb coin features the allegorical “Peace” as she appeared on the Peace & Liberty Medal, where the female personification of Peace is depicted with her hair crowned in a wreath of maple leaves and olive branches. In creating that design, Taylor echoed Anthony de Francisci’s design for the American Peace Dollar introduced in 1921, saying she was inspired by the way that it “evoked a clear and elegant message of not only peace but also of harmony and grace.” She added that her design also symbolizes “the core values of peace, order and good government that have come to inherently represent the Canadian identity.”
Exquisitely Combining Ultra-High Relief And Three Finishes
This brilliant $1 legal-tender coin was struck in a full Troy ounce of 99.99% pure silver and comes minted in Ultra-High Relief (UHR) detail that employs a combination of three different finishing effects, including selective gold plating for the first time ever; a new field pattern built from the crown of olive and maple leaves on Lady Peace’s head, finished in satin to contrast subtly with the polished fields to stunning effect; and a Proof finish providing razor-sharp designs thanks to multiple strikes, a beautiful array of frosted devices and polished, mirror-like fields.
