In Ottawa, Ontario, a large granite arch rises over a group of 22 soldiers in Canada’s Confederation Square. Topped by two bronze sculptures – female personifications of Peace and Liberty – the arch is Canada’s National War Memorial, and one of the country’s most revered sites. Those two poetic statues now form the basis of a ground-breaking series that brings two of the world’s most accomplished coin designers together on one spectacular program: Canada’s 2019 Peace & Liberty Silver Medal!
This release marks the first time ever that artists from the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) and the U.S. Mint have come together to design a medal! Retired RCM Senior Engraver Susan Taylor designed the “Peace” side of the medal while former U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti brings us the exquisite “Liberty” on the obverse.
Not only was this fabulous medal minted in one full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% fine silver, but it is struck in Ultra High Relief so that every detail is showcased in epic fashion. In addition, the 2019 Canada Peace & Liberty Ultra High Relief One-Ounce Silver Medal comes in gorgeous Gem Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
The Royal Canadian Mint has set the maximum worldwide limited edition for this first-ever collaborative proof at just 3,000 – a ridiculously small number for all the collectors north and south of the border would like to own this first-ever silver proof
