It is our song, the one that represents every Canadian from coast to coast and across “the True North strong and free.” This 2020 Silver Maple Leaf fractional set celebrates the 40th anniversary of the National Anthem Act, and the day when O Canada officially became Canada’s song.

The set features five different sizes and denominations of matched .9999 pure silver coins with a unique O Canada design. The sizes are 1 ounce, ½ ounce, ¼ ounce, 1/10th ounce and 1/20th ounce. The coins bear a face value of $5, $4, $3, $2 and $1 respectively.  Mintage of this set is limited to 3,000.  GST/HST exempt. 

The Design:

All five coins share the same double-dated design. A red Swarovski® element adds extra sparkle to the 1 oz. coin design which also showcases a deep red (the colour of Canada). But it is the addition of an engraved musical staff — with the famous opening notes of O Canada — that ensures our anthem will always have a place in your heart and your collection. All five coins feature the same maple leaf-themed reverse design by Lisa Thomson Khan. The double dates “1980  2020” mark the 40th anniversary of the National Anthem Act, which designated O Canada as the national anthem of Canada. On the 1 oz. coin, the engraved cluster of three maple leaves is tinted with a red colour. The large coin is distinguished by three additional features: a red Swarovski® element; edge lettering to commemorate the official proclamation date (“01.07.80”); and an engraved musical staff with the opening notes of O Canada.
