2017 $100 Diamond Jubilee Confederation of Canada Medal (No Tax)
This low mintage coin is the second 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. On July 1, 1927, the Dominion of Canada marked 60 years of progress under the banner of Confederation. To commemorate the occasion, the Diamond Jubilee of the Confederation of Canada Medal was issued as a special presentation piece that expressed a nation's pride and identity on its Diamond Jubilee. As we celebrate 150 years of Confederation, the Royal Canadian Mint travels back in time to revisit another historic year - a distant predecessor to Canada 150 - through a magnificent artifact that is part of our medallic history.
