ENG-WEB-JAN15.Pdf COINS FROM THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT 2015 | NUMBER 1 CELEBRATE CANADA’S PROUDLY NATIONAL FLAG WITH WAVING FOR STUNNING KEEPSAKES— 50 YEARS. SEE INSIDE! AT BOUTIQUES STARTING JANUARY 13 AND MINT.CA JANUARY 6 CANADA’S FLAG AT 50. Flags have been flying high for thousands of years, and 2015 marks the 50th year when Canada’s National Flag came on the scene. After the First and Second World Wars, there was a growing sense across Canada that the nation needed a new flag to reflect its emerging sense of national identity. Canada’s approaching centennial in 1967 added to the momentum, and by the start of the decade, a 15-member parliamentary committee was busy reviewing submissions. Designs fell into three general categories: versions of the Red Ensign, flags with multiple maple leaves, and designs that focused on a single leaf. Three factors influenced the final decision to select the single-leaf design. 1: Red and white had been proclaimed Canada’s national colours by King George V in 1921. 2: The Royal Military College in Kingston (Ontario) had a flag with a single emblem that had proven to be visually striking and effective. 3: Over the years, notable Canadians had often recommended that a red maple leaf on a white field should be adopted as Canada’s national emblem since the maple leaf had witnessed much of the nation’s history, even identifying Canadian soldiers at war and Canadian athletes at Olympic sporting events. After centuries as a voice for Canada’s growing sense of national identity, the maple leaf was given an official place of honour on Canada’s National Flag. It was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965. 2 2015 $25 FINE SILVER COIN— CANADIAN FLAG No other symbol says “Canada” like its red and white National Flag.

Earth’s greatest natural and cultural treasures are being preserved for people to enjoy forever under the UNESCO convention of 1972. Each UNESCO World Heritage Site is nominated by its home country to receive legal protection under a number of international agreements (including the Geneva Convention) and the combined guardianship of all 191 countries that are members of the UNESCO convention. This captivating new series celebrates Canada’s iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites by partnering each location with a similar site worldwide to illustrate the incredible diversity that underlies Earth’s seemingly identical geographic features. First up: Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks and Japan’s Fujisan cultural site. While one is mountainous and the other volcanic, both sites are teeming with life and are inextricably linked to their nation’s cultures in vastly different ways. Mount Fuji has been a beacon for spiritual and artistic pilgrimages for hundreds of years, but only the most daring 17th-century European explorers would venture into the vast and isolated wilderness of the Rockies. Similar yet different, both a work of art, these coins showcase their outstanding beauty in breathtaking silver or gold. Mount Fuji Mount 8 1ST COIN IN THE WORLD HERITAGE SITES SERIES!

  • To the Top of Parks Canada
    To the top of Parks Canada As Parks Canada’s centennial celebrations were getting underway, the agency’s chief executive officer, Alan Latourelle (pictured in Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador), sat down for a conversation with the editors of Canadian Geographic. The complete interview appears here: CG Give us a sense of what the centennial of Parks Canada means for the agency. A.L. For Parks Canada, and for Canada, it is really celebrating the first national park organization in the world. This is a country that had the foresight and leadership to be the first to build an exceptional system of natural and heritage places. J. B. Harkin [first commissioner of the Dominion Parks Branch in 1911] and others before us set the way for a system plan that is representative of our country. So, for me, it is a celebration of who we are as Canadians and of the foresight and leadership of past heads of Parks Canada and past prime ministers. CG How do you go about celebrating that? Tell us about some of the events planned for 2011 that will bring that to life? A.L. It started this weekend with Winterlude here in Ottawa, where the opening ceremony included a project called the National Parks Project. Fifty musicians and filmmakers from Canada went through our national parks last summer and each produced a one‐hour documentary. Some of the best were being showcased at Winterlude. We want to connect Canadians to their stories, to our national parks, to our national historic sites, and invite them to celebrate with us.

  • Collecting Canadian Dollars by Thomas Coulson Canada Issued Its First Circulating Silver Dollar in 1935 to Observe the 25Th Anniversary of King George V’S Reign
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Canadian Dollars by Thomas Coulson Canada issued its first circulating silver dollar in 1935 to observe the 25th anniversary of King George V’s reign. The new silver dollar re- verse featured an Indian and a trader travelling by canoe to deliver goods they have collected. The canoe travels by a backdrop of a small island set against the Northern Lights (Aurura Borealis). This marked a major departure from previous Canadian silver coin designs which had all dis- played some form of wreath since 1858. The 1935 Canadian Silver Dol- lar was the first in a series of modernized designs released by the Royal Canadian Mint; similar to the renaissance of design embarked upon by the United States a generation earlier. 1935 Canadian Dollar The ‘Voyageur’ reverse was generally well received. The design was clean, simple, and fresh compared to the tired wreath types. The canoe with island and Northern Lights was and is distinctly Canadian. It exemplifies one of Canada’s greatest assets: natural beauty. The Voyageur and Indian transporting goods recall the harvesting of ample natural resources as a cornerstone of Canada’s economy. One of the parcels on the canoe also carries the initials H.B. This denotes the archetypic Cana- dian Hudson’s Bay Company; with a storied trading resume dating back to 1670. Though many citizens objected to this free representation of a commercial business on the coin, there was no doubting the Cana- dian theme. Objections aside, the design was simply beautiful and purely Canadian. The new dollar denomination and design proved popular enough to continue production through 1938.
