The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to join Canadians in celebrating Canada 150 with a dazzling new array of finely-crafted collector coins to suit all tastes: from first-time collectors to avid seekers of rare numismatic treasures. To help mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation, over 40 different products will be issued as the Mint announces its monthly catalogues over the course of the year. With a number of products already launched in late 2016 to build momentum for Canada 150, the Mint is kicking off 2017 with a January 7 release of the new Proof Silver Dollar and the 2017 Classic Uncirculated Set, with much more to be announced throughout the year.
“Every coin crafted by the Royal Canadian Mint is a celebration of our Canadian identity, our collective pride and our most cherished moments, which we are delighted to capture with our new Canada 150 coin program,” said Sandra Hanington, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “Canada 150 is a once-in-a-generation experience that will give each of us lasting memories and the Mint is proud to offer Canadians a unique way to preserve those memories through the joy of collecting our new coins.”
Customers in Canada and around the world can already order a number of coins celebrating Canada 150, including the 2017 $3 Fine Silver Coin – The Spirit of Canada, attractively priced at $19.95 CAD, with more entry-level products to be announced shortly. For beautiful colour perspectives of Canada seen through the eyes of photographers from every province and territory, customers can choose from the 2017 $10 Fine Silver Coin Series – Celebrating Canada’s 150th, featuring a new coin each month until July 2017.
