150th Anniversary of the Northwest Territories. It was 150 years ago, in 1870 that the transfer of Rupert’s Land and the North-Western Territory resulted in the establishment of Canada’s first territory. The flora, fauna, landscapes and diverse peoples of the Northwest Territories have made it a cherished part of our Canadian family. But our “oldest” territory is also young at heart, with new generations of artists and innovators that are, today, looking to the past to shape the future of the North. Fine silver coin commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Northwest Territories’ entry into Confederation. Its reverse design is an artistic expression of pride for the territory’s medley of cultures, and for the land that has sustained its inhabitants since time immemorial. Its story is closely tied to the surrounding territories and provinces that were carved from its initial size in 1870. Inclusive Through the various motifs, the reverse design also celebrates the diversity of the cultures represented in the Northwest Territories. Limited to just 2,500 coins worldwide!
