Product Overview
This extremely large and richly detailed $250 silver coin presents an artistic version of Canada's coat of arms used from the 1870s to the early 20th century. With a weight of just over one kilogram and a diameter of 102 mm, this impressive coin was inspired by art that first appeared in 1899 on a patriotic Canadian postcard. The design centres on the seven-province shield. The imagery includes the arms of Canada's four founding provinces at Confederation (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick) as well as those of Manitoba (which joined in 1870), British Columbia (1871) and Prince Edward Island (1873). The four shields of the founding provinces are also individually highlighted, encircled by laurel wreaths.
The coin is dated 2020 with a $250 denomination and weighs just over one kilogram of pure silver. The artist for this coin, Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, maintained the charm of the original postcard, making a few revisions to fit it perfectly to the coin. She is uniquely qualified for this work: Bursey-Sabourin is the Fraser Herald and principal artist of the Canadian Heraldic Authority. She painted the arms for the current and several previous Governors General of Canada and the Coat of Arms of Canada.
The central shield containing the arms of Canada's seven provinces of the era is surmounted by a stylized royal crown. At its base is a beaver and a ribbon bearing the bilingual text "Dominion of/du Canada." Flanking the central shield are four individual versions of the shields of the original provinces, with Ontario and Nova Scotia on the left and Quebec and New Brunswick on the right. Each individual shield is encircled by a laurel wreath. The background is filled with stylized maple leaves. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt against a background with a pattern of maple leaves in the same style as featured on the reverse.
