Product Overview
Scarce, popular, beautiful and visually impressive in a big five-ounce 65-mm format, every denomination in every year of issue since Big Coins were introduced in 2015 has sold out immediately from the Royal Canadian Mint and has appreciated in value in the secondary market. The 2017 Big Coins series has iconic designs created by Alex Colville in 1967 for Canada's centennial celebration. Mintage of this coin is limited to just 2,150.
The design, originally created by renowned artist and sculptor Alex Colville, presents a rock dove, associated with peace and spiritual values. While the original 1967 version was struck in about three grams of copper, this new 2017 version has grown to a 65-mm diameter with a weight of five ounce of pure silver. The finish on the Big Coin is the finest-quality double-struck proof, and the wolf has been enhanced with a layer of 24-karat gold, creating a spectacular work of numismatic art. Even the obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth is special, featuring the effigy in use in 1967 with selective gold plating on the Queen's gown.
Also included is an original 1967 one-cent coin designed by renowned artist and sculptor Alex Colville, presented in a custom case.
