About each coin design: First coin: The 4-4-0 locomotive. Designed by Canadian artist David A. Oram, the first coin in your subscription transports you to Toronto, ON, in the year of Confederation: 1867. The selective application of gold plating immediately drawsthe eye to the 4-4-0 locomotive of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in the foreground. The left-side three-quarter view allows for a thorough examination of the steam engine’s defining characteristics-from the balloon smoke stack and large driving wheels to the cattle guard-all rendered in outstanding detail. In the background, the arched train shed of GWR’s Yonge Street passenger station adds an architectural point of interest, while the horse-drawn carriage waiting trackside completes this meticulously engraved snapshot of a bygone era. On track to Confederation-and beyond. Named for its wheel configuration of four leading (front) wheels and four driving ones, the iconic 4-4-0 “American” type of locomotive looms large in Canada’s railway history as the quintessential all-purpose locomotive of its time. The height of the 4-4-0′s popularity coincided with Confederation-a time when Canadian union hinged on the promise of a railway link, which was fulfilled in the east with the completion of the Intercolonial Railway in 1872. By then, the 4-4-0 representedthe overwhelming majority of the steam locomotives in service, including those that helped open the continent to new settlement in the west. Design adjustments and a larger boiler size resulted in more powerful 4-4-0 engines; but tasked with increasingly heavier loads, the 4-4-0′s limited firing capacity eventually led to its falling out of favour whenlarger engines (such as the Ten-Wheelers) entered the fray. Canada’s love for railroads began with the first railway constructed in 1836: the Champlain and Saint Lawrence Rail Road. Prior to 1853, all locomotives in British North America were imported from the United States or from Great Britain. In 1848, the Montreal and Lachine Railroad purchasedone of the first 4-4-0 locomotives to be used herein Canada. On April 16, 1853, the Toronto Locomotive Work completed work on the first locomotive built in Canada: a 4-4-0 steam engine known as the. Second coin: The RS 20 locomotive. Designed by Canadian artist John Mantha, your coin looks back at the first wave of diesel-electric locomotives that were introduced in Canada in the 1940s and 1950s. Used by the Roberval and Saguenay Railway, the RS 20 was the first diesel road locomotive manufactured in Canada, and was built in 1949 by Montreal Locomotive Works. The selective application ofgold plating places the focus on the early RS-2 road-switcher, which is made all the more visible thanks to the tiger-striped pattern, painted at the front. The rail yard in the engraved background is bustling with activity, and typifies the environment in which these versatile workhorses shine. Driving change in Canada. The early 20th century saw a rapid expansion ofnew railways across the country, and in areas further north than ever before. Trains had become the backbone of industry in Canada, allowing an easy flow of goods and services while transporting an unprecedented wave of immigration to regions that were once remote. The railway companies also spurred a budding tourism industry, by building resort hotels and launching campaigns that touted Canada’s great natural beauty to the travellers of the world. But the First World War marked a period ofgreat change in Canada’s railway history. Steam locomotives continued to sustain Canada’s economy while supporting the war effort by transportingtroops; but the limited availability of trainmen, areduced ridership, and unrestrained expansion exacerbated the financial problems of many Canadian railways. In 1917, a royal commission recommended the nationalization of. Railways-except the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). And by 1923, the Canadian Northern Railway, Intercolonial, National Transcontinental Railway, Grand Trunk Railway and Grand Trunk Pacific Railway were all amalgamated to form the Canadian National Railways (CNR). Gone was the great era of railway construction; decades later, the golden age of steam railways was itself relegated to the history books with the advent of a newtechnology: the diesel locomotive. The first diesel-electric locomotive used in Canada, CNR 9000, was built in 1929 from coupled engines that could each generate 950 kW of power and weighed a combined 335 tonnes. Until the end of the Second World War, most of Canada’s diesel locomotives were low-powered engines. Diesel-electric technology was largely used in submarines during the war, but was gradually extended torailways during the post-war period. By 1960, steam locomotives were no longer used by either CNR or CPR for regularly scheduled service. The diesel engine doesn’t directly move the wheels that propel the locomotive forward-it drives anelectrical generator, which powers the traction motors that make the wheels turn. The tiger-like stripes on the front of a locomotive are deliberately painted to improve the locomotive’s visibility. Third coin: The GE ES44AC locomotive. In keeping with the first two coins in the series, this reverse design by Canadian artist John Mantha features selective gold plating that shines the spotlight on the General Electric ES44AC locomotive. The background features an outstanding amount of engraved detail that captures the majesty of Canada’s diverse landscape: from the far-off mountain peak to the different textures of the surrounding vegetation, down to the gravel along the railroad ties. The shine of the coin’s silver surface also lends itself well to evoking the brightness of a summer day-in the sky, and on the surface of the winding river beneath it. Rounding the curves inthe track, the gold-plated ES44AC locomotive is positioned in a way that allows for an ideal view of its front and side. The remarkable power of this fuel-efficient locomotive is evident in an almost endless line of railcars that stretch out behind it. 99.99% pure silver. Oram (first coin), John Mantha (second and third coins) (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).

Each of the five coins in this exceptional commemorative set of five Canadian 1-cent coins is certified to be 99.99% pure silver. This unique set celebrates the evolution of Canada’s penny from its first striking at the Royal Mint in Ottawa (later the Royal Canadian Mint) in 1908 to the 1-cent coin’s final striking at the Royal Canadian Mint’s Winnipeg branch in 2012. Though the reverse and obverse design of this penny predates the Royal Mint’s presence in Canada, when the first coin was struck on Canadian soil in 1908, it was a penny just like this one. The reverse features the maple wreath design that had been present on Canadian 1-cent coins since the Victorian era, framing a central field featuring the words “ONE CENT” and the year of production. The obverse features the effigy of King Edward VII. In 1911, George V became king and the obverse of the Canadian 1-Cent coin changed to feature the effigy of the new monarch. At the same time, a new reverse design featuring the word “CANADA” was introduced. In 1920, the Royal Mint not only made the penny smaller but also introduced a new reverse design featuring two maple leaves and the words “ONE CENT” and CANADA. ” The obverse continued to feature the effigy of King George V, though complications in 1936 caused by the abdication of King George V’s successor, Edward VIII, led the Mint to modify the 1936 dies in order to produce never-circulated George V “dot cents in the event of a delay in production of 1937 coinage. To celebrate Canada’s centennial, Canadian artist Alex Colville created a special commemorative reverse design for the penny featuring a rock dove in flight. In 1982, the shape of the penny was modified from perfectly circular to a 12-sided design to assist the visually impaired. This shape was maintained until 1997, when the penny became round again until its final striking in 2012. The obverse has featured four different effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II since 1953. The effigy introduced in 1990, which appears on the coin in this set, was the first to be created by a Canadian Dora de Pédery-Hunt.
