2012 Canada $4 Heroes of 1812 - Sir Isaac Brock Fine Silver (No Tax)

The War of 1812 was a fundamental turning point in Canada's development as a nation; the stories and the heroes that arose from it have become enduring elements of the Canadian story. Major General Sir Isaac Brock's initiative and bravery during the War of 1812-in which he offered the ultimate sacrifice, his life-have made him one of the war's most well-known military figures. Today he is known as 'The Hero of Upper Canada.'

This $4 silver coin is 99.99% pure silver with a metal weight of 7.96 grams and a diameter of 27 millimetres. The reverse image by Bonnie Ross features, in the foreground, a three-quarter profile portrait of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock in his high-collared 19th-century military coat and scarf. Brock's portrait is set against an intricately engraved background comprised of the bilingual text 'The War of 1812/La guerre de 1812.' This background is horizontally bisected by a polished silver band featuring the embossed word 'Brock' in cursive lettering. Beneath this band is the engraved and painted Government of Canada War of 1812 logo composed of the date '1812' in 1812-style handwritten lettering laid over a red stylized maple leaf with ecru swords crossing behind it. The reverse is also embossed with the face value of '4 DOLLARS.' The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
