This must-have set is the only collectible that offers all five coin rolls featuring the circulation designs that were released in 2017 to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.

SPECIAL FEATURES
DESIGN
CANADA IS TURNING 150 IN 2017—and EVERYONE is invited!
In anticipation of this historic milestone, the Royal Canadian Mint invited Canadians to create commemorative designs for the coins that will enter circulation during that special year—fresh new ideas that reflect the hopes and dreams of 21st-century Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
The My Canada, My Inspiration contest offered participants five categories, including a special “Future” theme reserved strictly for youngsters under the age of 12 years. Over 10,000 submissions were received, and a panel of notable Canadians including Rick Hansen and Chris Hadfield participated in the challenging task
of selecting 25 finalists for the online public vote.
Each of these coins is a historic keepsake that marks an exciting milestone in the ongoing adventure that is Canada and also represents a very rare, and collectible occasion where the public is given the opportunity to determine its own currency—a unique expression of hope and pride in the place they call “home” that will
inspire generations to come!
5¢ – PASSION- Living Traditions
Gerald Gloade of Millbrook First Nation (NS) used the ancient style of the northeastern woodland tribes of the inspired Algonkian style to re-interpret Canada’s iconic beaver, and celebrate a culture that is always growing and changing, but strong as ever after 150 years.
10¢ – CHARACTER- Wings of Peace
Amy Choi of Calgary (AB) combined a maple leaf and a dove to celebrate Canada’s prominence as a peacekeeping nation—a distinction that inspires people throughout the world, and is an ever-growing part of what it means to be “Canadian.”
25¢ – FUTURE – Hope for a Green Future
Eight-year-old Joelle Wong of Richmond Hill (ON) expressed his hope for a green future with a design that shows two hands nurturing a plant, while a bird, beaver and turtle hold onto it—a desire to protect nature and create a healthy planet for all its animals.
$1 – ACHIEVEMENT- Connecting a Nation
Wesley Klassen of St. Catharines (ON) created this montage of landmarks that can be seen coast to coast while riding the trans-Canada railway—the engine that powered Confederation 150 years ago, and remains essential to connecting Canadians today.
$2 – WONDER- Dance of the Spirits
Timothy Hsia of Richmond (BC) captured the ageless wonder of the aurora borealis with this design of two paddlers witnessing the Dance of the Spirits—celestial beings that continue to dance with radiant splendour after 150 years.
