No matter where you live; no matter how you came to be here; you have your personal story of what Canada means to you. This pure silver $3 coin is filled with inspiring symbols, and even if you haven’t seen or experienced them all, you’ll likely notice they all feel like “home”—Canada, a rich and ever-changing combination of people, histories and aspirations that come together with the maple leaf at their heart. As a pure silver coin struck by the Royal Canadian Mint, this item is GST/HST exempt.
The Design:
Canadian artist Laurie McGaw has created a fun and uplifting collage of the places and things that make Canada great. Clockwise from the top: hockey sticks and puck, snowflakes, polar bear, inukshuk, Parliament Hill, Canadian flag, maple syrup, lighthouse, lobster traps, toboggan, Canada goose, canoe, beaver, moose, black spruce tree, Beaver plane, salmon, wheat, cowboy boot, mountains. The elements are roughly placed in an east/west/north/south orientation to reflect their location on a Canadian map. Together, they encircle a maple leaf that is the heart of the design—and the heart of this nation. Proudly engraved with “150 YEARS/ANS”.
