Canada: 2017 1 Cent Rock Dove Big Coin Series: Alex Colville Design Silver 5 Ounce Coin

Finish: Proof

Mintage: 2150

Design: The coin re-creates the classic 1967 one-cent circulation coin design by Canadian artist Alex Colville, and features a full front profile of a rock dove in flight on outstretched wings. Meticulously engraved, this recreation of the original design allows for a more detailed view of some of the finer details such as its tail and wing feathers. The image is enhanced by the application of selective gold plating over the bird and all along the coin's rim. The reverse also features the engraved face value "1 CENT", the word "CANADA" and the commemorative dates "1867-2017".

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a maroon Royal Canadian Mint clamshell case, it is protected by a graphic beauty box.
