Product Description

ALEX COLVILLE DESIGNS – GOOSE – 1967 CENTENNIAL BIG COIN SERIES – 2017 1 Dollar 5 oz Pure Silver – RCM

“The Canada goose seems appropriate for the dollar since it is one of our most majestic creatures and is particularly Canadian. There are other associations with traveling over great spaces, and a kind of serene dynamic quality in this bird.” Alex Colville

DESIGN

One Dollar: The first coin in your subscription re-creates the unforgettable 1967 one-dollar circulation coin design by Canadian artist Alex Colville, and features the side profile of a Canada goose in flight. Detailed engraving re-creates the goose’s features and the texture of its flight feathers, as it flaps its wings downwards while soaring over this land. The image is enhanced by the application of selective gold plating over the goose and along the rim. The reverse also features the engraved face value “1 DOLLAR”, the word “CANADA” and the commemorative dates “1867-2017”. The obverse features selective gold plating on the second effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin.
