This commemorative silver coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint features the Allegory of Peace, depicted as a winged female figure rendered in three-dimensional form and highlighted with selective gold plating. The allegorical figure symbolizes peace, harmony, and hope, drawing on classical artistic traditions. The design is presented within an innovative open-core structure, allowing a full view of the sculptural centerpiece. Surrounding the core is a silver ring bearing the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the denomination. The coin reflects Canada’s tradition of combining advanced minting technology with symbolic, classical themes in modern numismatics.
