His son Edward VIII’s ascension was short-lived: Edward abdicated later that year, leaving his brother, George VI, to take the throne. These shifts in leadership meant that mints across the British Empire had to make ongoing changes to coinage in collaboration with the Royal Mint in Londona time-consuming task in this era. As matters at Windsor Castle calmed in 1938, the Government of Canada, unable to issue a commemorative coin in time for George VI’s 1937 coronation, decided to celebrate His Majesty’s planned royal visit in 1939the first of its kind on Canadian soiland thus this commemorative silver dollar was born.

The obverse features the effigy of King George VI from the original 1939 silver dollar. King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret were each given proof dollars in Canadian-designed and crafted cases. Their coins were double struck to sharpen the relief. All Canadian silver dollars were 80% silver and 20% copper between 1935 and 1967. The artist who designed the reverse of the coin, famed Canadian sculptor and artist Emanuel Hahn, created this design in only four weeks. The 1939 commemorative silver dollar was the only Canadian circulation silver dollar to feature the numerical figure “1″ before the word “DOLLAR” on its reverse.

Precision engraving re-creates one of the four identical faces that grace each side of the iconic clock tower, which rises up high above Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. The Roman numerals, minute markers and geometric-inspired centre pattern are all beautifully and faithfully reproduced on the reverse; in fact, the only engraved addition is the widening of the centre’s circular frame to include the engraved words “CANADA”, the year “2017″ and the face value, “50 DOLLARS”.

For added historical value, these cogs are fashioned from copper that once clad the roofs of Canada’s Parliament Buildingsany colour variations or markings have been preserved to make each coin unique. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The Peace Tower clock is our most famous clock and is set to Canada’s official time, as measured by the National Research Council’s atomic clock. Take a closer look at the number “4″: clock and watchmakers frequently use the Roman numerals “IIII” instead of “IV”, but that’s not always the case! Despite several compelling theories, there is no definitive explanation for this practicenor is it consistent, since Big Ben uses “IV” while the Peace Tower Clock uses IIII. Located in a small room inside the tower, the master clock runs on an electric motor, and it is mechanically connected to the 53-bell carillon’s keyboard. The bells ring out every 15 minutes, while the 10,160-kg bourdon rings out on the hour. Time moves forward, never backwardat least, that’s how the Peace Tower Clock works! When Daylight Saving Time (DST) comes to an end in autumn, the clock is manually stopped at 2 a. For a full hour before resuming after the extra hour. And when the clock needs to “spring ahead” for the start of DST, the carillon is temporarily disconnected before the hour hand is moved forward one hour. This coin re-creates the clock in 99.99% pure silver, but the actual clock’s markings are bronze and were cast at the old Victoria Foundry, at its former site in Ottawa’s LeBreton Flats. The roofs of the Parliament Buildings consist of copper panels over reinforced concrete. Newer copper panels are naturally brown and shiny; over time, exposure to oxygen, weather elements and pollution causes a chemical reaction that famously changes the copper’s colour to green! Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box. 99.99% pure silver. (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).
