This is an interesting coin that changes appearance as it is turned in the light. Celebrate the legacy of the Avro CF-105 Arrow, an aviation marvel that was designed and built in Canada. In the 1950s, this supersonic aircraft was heralded as the fastest and highest-flying interceptor and “the symbol of a new era for Canada in the air”. It captured the imagination of the Canadian public, and long after the project’s cancellation in 1959, the Arrow lives on as a delta-winged symbol of Canadian ingenuity and technical achievement. Mintage is limited to 10,000 coins. The first Arrow, RL-201, is featured on this 1 oz. Fine silver coin, where the spirit of innovation that produced the storied aircraft is reflected in the waters of Lake Ontario-the very waters over which different scaled models were launched during the development phase between 1954 and 1957. The reverse design by Canadian artist Ardell Bourgeois highlights the incredible story of the Avro CF-105 Arrow through its aerial view of the 1950s supersonic interceptor jet in flight. The view is of the first Arrow, indicated by the serial number “RL-201″ (paired with the Royal Canadian Air Force classic roundel) on both the aircraft’s fuselage and in the inscription near the bottom of the design. The image pays homage to the development of Canada’s most legendary aircraft, depicting the Arrow flying over the waters of Lake Ontario, where the small scale models were tested. This is represented by the Arrow’s outline, which is engraved incuse on the surface of the water, where it invokes the achievements that made its creation possible. 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of A. And went on to become the third-largest corporation in Canada. It folded in 1962 after the Arrow’s cancellation. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
