Product Overview
Coats of arms originated in the Middle Ages, and they could only be granted by the king, a tradition that led to an intriguing story for the Coat of Arms of British Columbia (BC). While the province requested a coat of arms in 1897 and a provincial shield was granted in 1906, the official arms were not granted until 1987, some 90 years later.
This coin features a faithful reproduction of British Columbia's coat of arms, the first arms to be granted the Royal Crest. It appears above the shield with one distinguishing mark; the lion features a garland of dogwoods, BC's floral emblem. Below the crest is the golden helmet of sovereignty with other heraldic elements. The elk and bighorn sheep represent the former colonies (Vancouver Island and mainland respectively) while the wavy lines in the shield reflect BC's location between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains.
