Canada Peace 1-oz Silver Dollar Ultra High Relief Pulsating Pattern Coin
Celebrate Canada’s dedication to making the world a more
peaceful place with this 1 oz. fine silver coin! In 1957, Canadian Lester B.
Pearson won a Noble Peace Prize for organizing the first UN peacekeeping force,
and that legacy of peace and international cooperation remains at the core of
our national identity today. Pride in our peacekeeping heritage is evident on
the 2022 Peace Dollar, which is struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR) and features
a pulsating pattern; when the coin is tilted, the relief pattern appears to
emit a pulse of hope—for peace and prosperity, now and for generations to come.
Struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR), your Peace Dollar’s
reverse features a pulsating pattern behind the allegorical image of peace
designed by retired RCM Senior Engraver, Susan Taylor. Lady Peace is depicted
in profile with her hair crowned in a wreath of maple leaves and olive
branches. She is flanked by her name, “PAX” (the Latin word for “Peace”), and
the year “2022”, while Canada’s national motto, “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (“From
sea to sea”) appears overhead. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Depicted on your coin’s reverse, Lady Peace made her first
appearance on the 2019 Peace and Liberty medal and has since become a fixture
on Canada’s annual Peace Dollar (2020, 2021, 2022). Her crown of maple leaves
and olive branches is a symbolic representation of the core Canadian values of
peace, order and good government.
Lester B. Pearson wasn't the only one to receive the Nobel
Peace Prize for his peacekeeping efforts. In 1988, thousands of Canadians were
among the peacekeepers of the world who were collectively awarded for their
service in UN missions; this inspired Canada to establish our own Canadian
Peacekeeping Service Medal (CPSM), now proudly worn by many veterans.
The first Peace Dollar was struck in the United States in
December 1921 to commemorate world peace after the First World War, and just
over a million coins bearing a 1921 date were issued. It was minted every year
until 1928, and again in 1934 and 1935; in 1965, the Denver Mint struck over
316,000 1964-dated Peace Dollars but these were never issued..
COIN HIGHLIGHTS:
Canada’s Peace Dollar returns in 2022—this time with a
dynamic field pattern that pulsates with pride and hope, thanks to photonic
technology.
• The Peace Dollar's reverse features a pulsating
pattern that appears to expand and contract whenever the coin is tilted. The
optical effect is produced by an array of sub-millimetre-scale mirrors that
have been micro-engineered and precisely engraved to reflect light and create
the illusion of motion—like hope radiating outward.
• Ultra High Relief technology lifts the design to
greater heights by adding extra depth and detail to this inspiring
personification of peace.
• Struck in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver and
features a luminous proof finish to ensure every crisply engraved detail stands
out—from the strands of hair to the maple leaves in Lady Peace’s crown.
Packaging:
Your coin is encapsulated and presented with C.O.A in its
Royal Canadian Mint branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
