2025 $20 Fine Silver Coin Hogan's Alley - Commemorating Black History

This 2025 $20 fine silver coin commemorates Canadian Black History. For half a century, it was known to outsiders for its good food and great music, but to its residents, Hogan's Alley represented community, a place where entrepreneurial spirit and civil activism were woven into the fabric of life. Gone but not forgotten, Vancouver's first Black community, its rich cultural mosaic and the many contributions made by the residents of Hogan's Alley—workers and activists, artists and athletes, business owners and community builders—are honoured on the 2025 Commemorating Black History coin.

The reverse design, by Canadian artist Kwame Delfish, represents the spirit of Hogan's Alley, Vancouver's first Black community and a once-thriving cultural hub during the 20th century. British Columbia's provincial flower, the Pacific dogwood, lies at the centre, and the surrounding images reflect the character and vibrancy of the neighbourhood (starting at the one o'clock position and moving clockwise): a cook at one of the women-owned chicken house restaurants; a Black railway sleeping car porter; a choir representing the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Fountain Chapel, Vancouver's first Black church; and two different types of dancers, as well as a pianist, saxophonist and singer, all representing the incredible talent that was regularly on display in the community's nightclubs and speakeasies. The obverse features a maple leaf pattern and the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
