Canada: 2017 $100  A Mari Usque Ad Mare: The Diamond Jubilee of The Confederation of Canada Medal 10oz Fine Silver Coin

Design: Inspired by a general design by Canadian illustrator Charles William Jefferys, your coin's design is an updated reproduction of the original (1927) design by Raymond Delamarre.

With arms spread wide to embody Canada's motto, A Mari Usque Ad Mare ("From sea to sea"), a robed female allegory is engraved in high relief as a symbol of a young nation's strength. She stands among sheaves of wheat that signify growth and prosperity across Canada, which is also represented by the clusters of maple leaves at her feet. Rising up behind her, a map of the Dominion of Canada is marked by transcontinental railroad links and the shield from Royal Arms of Canada (as it appeared in 1927). The combination of different finishes adds a subtle modern flair to the design, while a circular frame bears the engraved words "CANADA" and "A MARI VSQVE AD MARE", the face value "100 DOLLARS" and the commemorative dates "1867" and "2017".

The obverse features the effigies of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and Her Majesty Queen Victoria by Leonard Charles Wyon. The obverse also includes the royal cypher used by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and a cypher used by Queen Victoria. Each royal cypher is ensigned with a crown depicted in a style specifically used by each monarch.
