This month, the Royal Canadian Mint proudly presents several new coins for the discerning collector, celebrating Canadian history, wildlife, culture and more in anticipation of Canada 150!

5-OUNCE FINE SILVER COIN - BIG COIN SERIES ALEX COLVILLE DESIGNS: 50 CENT

In 1967, a unique set of circulation coins captured the spirit of a 

young nation celebrating a milestone anniversary. Designed by artist 

Alex Colville, the 1967 Canadian Centennial circulation coins are still 

beloved today for their historic relevance, and for their understated 

elegance that is beautifully conveyed on the fifth coin in this continuing 

series of Big Coins. Yours for $559.95.

$20 FINE SILVER COIN - CANADIAN HONOURS: 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORDER OF 

MILITARY MERIT

Since its creation in 1972, more than 4,700 men and women of the 

Canadian Armed Forces have been appointed to the Order of Military 

Merit. With this fine silver coin, the Royal Canadian Mint proudly 

commemorates the 45th anniversary of one of Canada’s highest 

honours, which recognizes those whose dedication and commitment 

to their country embodies the Order’s motto: Officium ante commodum 

(“Service before self”). Available for $109.95.

$1 FINE SILVER 2-COIN SET - 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LOONIE

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of Canada’s most iconic 

circulation coins! This two-coin commemorative set features a 9.99% 

pure silver edition of the now-classic “loonie” design that graces the 

reverse of Canada’s $1 circulation coin. Next to it, the second coin re-

creates the coin’s intended one-dollar design for the 1987 coin—it’s 

how our $1 coin would have appeared, had the dyes not vanished…

Available for $79.95, check out our full selection of new release coins 

for the pure gold version!

$100 FINE SILVER COIN SCULPTURE OF MAJESTIC CANADIAN ANIMALS: 

BIGHORN SHEEP

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is famous for effortlessly 

ascending the steep slopes of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where the 

ram’s curled horns are a symbol of status. Rising up like the alpine 

terrain it inhabits, the bighorn-shaped sculpture on the reverse of this 

fine silver coin perfectly conveys the beauty, strength and dauntless 

spirit of an iconic Canadian species! Fourth in a series of five coins, 

this limited mintage is yours for $1099.95.

$10 FINE SILVER COIN BIRDS AMONG NATURE’S COLOURS: PURPLE MARTIN

Known for their smooth gliding and morning song, purple martins 

(Progne subis) are happy to return time and time again to the nest 

boxes and birdhouses we put up for them! This avian “urbanite” is 

more common in the east than the west; but wherever it nests, the 

black-blue songbird is a delightful sight—particularly on the coin’s 

reverse, where selective colour recreates the beauty of the martin’s 

surroundings. This stunning piece is priced at $64.95.
