2017 Canada 3-Coin Set. A glimpse of the Royal Canadian Mint’s archives! On the 150th anniversary of Confederation, we look back on history to re-visit proposed coin designs from another milestone year: Confederation’s Diamond Jubilee in 1927! These designs have appeared on coins, and they may be the only coin designs submitted to the Royal Canadian Mint by Group of Seven co-founder J. MacDonald and renowned muralist Gustav Hahn! You could say these coins were. 90 years in the making! Our team of engravers pored over every little detail of the original sketches in order to interpret each artist’s vision, while adapting it for today’s engraving techniques and finishes. A DESIGN THAT STANDS OUT! The matte field on each coin puts the focus squarely on the beautifully engraved elements that truly shine! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coin sets. Most of these are serialized certifications, meaning that each certificate is given a unique number, starting at 1. This coin set is limited to just 5,500 sets worldwide. EACH COIN IS ONE OUNCE OF 99.99% PURE SILVER! Your coin set is GST/HST exempt. All three coins feature the unused circulation coin designs intended to commemorate Canada’s Diamond Jubilee in 1927. Working with the original sketches (and little else), the Royal Canadian Mint’s engravers set out to interpret each artist’s vision as though the art had been entrusted to them today, to mark Confederation’s 150th anniversary. The 90-year-old concepts have been painstakingly adapted for modern engraving techniquesincluding a reverse proof finish that allows the more brilliant engraved elements to shine bright against the matte backdrop. The five-cent coin by Canadian artist J. A second design by MacDonald graces the reverse of the 25-cent coin, and centres on a soaring view of the iconic Peace Tower on Parliament Hill. The clock tower soars high above the clouds and is surrounded by a ribbon-wrapped laurel of leaves, from which hangs four bellsan ode to the Dominion Carillon, which was inaugurated on July 1, 1927, during the Diamond Jubilee festivities. Each bell bears engraved numbers that combine to form the commemorative dates “2017″ and “1867″. 99.99% pure silver. Gustav Hahn (reverse), Sir E. MacDonald (reverse), Sir E.
