J & M Coin and Jewellery. The contemporary-styled design by Patrick Bélanger weaves together a magnificent mix of Canadian icons that have long represented the nation’s spirit. Struck incuse against a proof finish, a flock of Canadian geese take to the skies above the prominent maple leaf. Within this leaf’s pointed edges lies an array of strongly symbolic images: an imposing grizzly bear; a grouping of maple leaves; a mighty caribou, whose call reverberates across the Boreal forests; and a historic coastal landmark, a lighthouse. An overlay of translucent red enamel tints the maple leaf and the engraved elements beneath it, while different frostings create contrast from within. The reverse includes the engraved words “CANADA 2019″ and the face value, “50 DOLLARS”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Hurry and order yours today before they’re all gone! With a country as vast and beautifully diverse as ours, it is a next-to-impossible task to represent Canada in a single image. So, we’ve gathered several classic icons to show our Canadian pride in a big way! From the stately caribou, whose call reverberates across our Boreal forests, to the grizzly bear, an icon of Canada’s west coast, these are some of the images featured on your 5 oz.

They remind Canadians that our differences are our greatest strength when we come together under our most iconic symbol of all: that proud, red-coloured maple leaf.

#### Own this silver with simulated turquoise celebration of Iranian Canadian heritage from today to those of Ancient Persia and beyond. Canadians of Iranian heritage can proudly lay claim to a rich tapestry of history, culture, literature and artistic traditions that encompass a wide range of disciplines – from architecture to weaving and metalwork, and so much more. Available in 99.99% pure silver for the first time, the Royal Canadian Mint’s 2024 Celebrating Canada’s Diversity coin incorporates design elements that reflect Iranian cultural traditions, spanning Ancient Persia to contemporary interpretation by an Iranian-Canadian artist, represented by Eslimi patterns and Shah Abbasi flower motifs from traditional carpet designs, lotus flowers inspired by the reliefs of Persepolis, stylized maple leaves symbolizing Canadian identity, and a paisley motif in the centre. These elements come together to surround the simulated turquoise on the coin’s reverse, where the balanced symmetry and circular symbolism are meant to inspire, to urge us to transcend our perceived limits, and to find inner peace and tranquility. New for 2024: A fine silver Celebrating Canada’s Diversity coin. #### COIN HIGHLIGHTS A celebration of Iranian culture. This 99.99% pure silver coin proudly celebrates the rich cultural heritage and history of Iranian Canadians. New for 2024: A fine silver version. Typically minted in 99.99% pure gold, Celebrating Canada’s Diversity is in an annual series that highlights the cultural and historical diversity of Canadian society. For 2024, we’re introducing a 99.99% pure silver version, which shares a similar design (and proof finish) as its gold counterpart. A dazzling addition to your collection. Mintage is limited to 5,500 coins worldwide. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. #### PACKAGING Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a beauty box. #### TURQUOISE CENTERPIECE Turquoise figures prominently in Iranian art and architecture, and this is represented by the ornamental stone on your coin’s reverse. The use of simulated turquoise makes this a more affordable alternative to the pure gold coin, which features a genuine turquoise stone. #### RICH SYMBOLISM The engraved design features an elaborate mix of various important cultural symbols representing Iranian Canadians from today to those of Ancient Persia and beyond, including motifs inspired by traditional carpet designs. #### OBVERSE PATTERN The Persepolis lotus flowers from your coin’s reverse repeat on the obverse, where these engraved elements form a captivating background pattern. #### DID YOU KNOW? Turquoise has deep, historic links to Iranian culture, art and even architecture. In Persian it is called piruzeh, meaning victory and believed to offer protection. In Iran, which continues to be an important source of the blue-green gem, turquoise artifacts have been discovered at historical archaeological sites dating back thousands of years. The reverse design by Canadian artist Soheila Esfahani features simulated turquoise surrounded by engraved patterns that celebrate the cultural heritage of Iranian Canadians from today to those of Ancient Persia and beyond. While a paisley motif surrounds the centrepiece, a repeating maple leaf (symbolizing Canadian identity) and lotus flower (inspired by the reliefs of Persepolis) form a continuous circular pattern that also incorporates a Shah Abbasi floral motif and Eslimi patterns from traditional carpet designs. The obverse features a background pattern of the Persepolis lotus flowers, and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins throughout the reign of the Queen, as well as the double dates of her reign. #### ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. The Royal Canadian Mint is renowned for producing some of the highest quality and purity of gold and silver bullion coins and bars in the world. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1999.
Mintage is limited to 5000. The Design: This double image coin will transport you to the Canada Day celebrations in the national capital. In regular light, it is a bright afternoon on Parliament Hill. Suddenly the Snowbirds Aeronautic Demonstration Team appears in the sky and performs a fly-past above the iconic Peace Tower with a thrilling red and white display of precise formation and national pride. Stay on the lawn of the Parliament Buildings until after dark for the climax of the celebrations. When viewed with the included black light, an unforgettable pyrotechnic display of fireworks appears above Parliament Hill. Black light and glow-in-the-dark technology combine to re-create the elaborate firework finale above Parliament Hill, where the dazzling array of colours and patterns faintly illuminates the buildings and the crowd below. There’s a timeless quality to Jesse Koreck’s reverse design, which provides a lasting snapshot of Canada Day festivities on Parliament Hill. The view of the Centre Block building helps create a more immersive viewing experience-one gets the sense of being there in person, among the hundreds of thousands of people who have gathered on the lawn to take part in this joyous occasion. The outpouring of national pride is evident in the revellers’ red-and-white clothing and the prominent placement of Canadian flags. However, the crowd’s attention is focused on the sky overhead, where the legendary Snowbirds Demonstration Team performs a thrilling fly-past above the iconic Peace Tower. The use of a full colour application adds a rich vibrancy to the daytime scene; but the strategic integration and layering of photoluminescent technologies allow for a surprising transition to night. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
