Capture the era of Canada’s 1927 Diamond Jubilee with this “The Forgotten 1927 Designs” three coin fine silver. All three one ounce fine silver coins feature the unused circulation coin designs intended to commemorate Canada’s Diamond Jubilee in 1927. Working with the original sketches, 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. Mintage of this unique three coin set is limited to just 5,500. The 90-year-old concepts have been painstakingly adapted for modern engraving techniques-including a reverse proof finish that allows the more brilliant engraved elements to shine bright against the matte backdrop. By Canadian artist J. A second design by MacDonald graces the reverse of the 25-cent coin, and centers 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 bells-an 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″.
