Beautifully presented in a genuine leather book-style that offers an elegant way to proudly showcase this set. Designed by Canadian artist Rebecca Yanovskaya, the silver dollar coin features a contemporary take on a classic female allegory that personifies Canada on its 150th anniversary. Every element in this complex design represents a different political, historic, geographic, and social aspect it represents Canadas story as a nation, all conveyed by the intricate engraving and careful use of multiple finishes. In the foreground, Canada rises up strong, majestic and bold; she bears a youthful appearance, given Canada's status as a relatively young nation.

Canada is the picture of grace and a vision of strength in her protective armor; and yet, she carries no weapon a symbolic nod to Canada's historic peacekeeping role, and Canadas efforts to bring peace throughout the world. Her brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of poppies, much as the lyrics to O Canada affirm in French. Facing out as though looking to the future, Canada's gaze is calm and steady while her arms are open wide, ready to embrace what challenges and triumphs lie ahead.

In one hand is a symbolic representation of the British North America Act, which represents the birth of the Dominion of Canada 150 years ago. In the other hand is a single feather that pays tribute to those who helped forge our nation's path: the First Nations peoples and the Fathers of Confederation.

A fur cape is a further reminder of First Nations traditions, as well as the importance of the fur trade in Canada's early history. Thirteen rays of light one for each province and territory shine down upon Miss Canada, while the waves at her feet represent the oceans that surround Canada. The Canadian banners link air, land and sea while in the background, Mount Logan (Canada's tallest peak) represents the diversity of the land, and alludes to the ability of Canadians to "rise" to the challenges they face yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Each set includes a numbered certificate with detailed coin specifications providing proof of ownership for this low mintage premium proof set and evidence that each coin has been individually inspected by the Royal Canadian Mints resident quality assurance specialists.

The 2017 pure silver proof set is a unique opportunity to own a selectively enhanced proof dollar alongside Canada's classic coinage (which will not be placed in circulation during this milestone year). Unsearched All of the coins offered in this listing are unsearched. Many coin dealers search all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins. When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera.

We often include proof coin photos with the coin slightly tilted to better depict the mirror bright surfaces. However, tilting the coin may resulting one side being slightly out of focus. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just stock artwork from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
