2017 Canada $100 150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation 10oz. Silver (No Tax)
This low mintage coin is the third in a series of three important historical pieces commemorating Canadian Confederation. Each medal features a historical landmark along the path of Canadian history: Canadian Confederation of 1867, the 1927 Diamond Jubilee of Canadian Confederation, and the 150th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation in 2017.
In the French version of O Canada, the poignant line "Ton histoire est une epopee" (Your history is an epic) alludes to the great lessons and legacy of our past, which has helped define Canada as a strong, steadfast and innovative nation. It's a picture of Canada that is beautifully personified on the reverse of this fine silver coin, where the allegorical figure proudly carries 150 years of history while welcoming whatever challenges the future may bring. This is our story as a nation. This is Canada.
