Canada: 2019 $1 70th Anniversary of Newfoundland Joining Canada 5 oz. Pure Silver Coin
Design: As it appeared on the 1949 silver dollar, the original reverse design by Thomas Shingles commemorates Newfoundland’s entry into Canadian Confederation on March 31, 1949. It represents The Matthew, the ship presumably sailed by explorer John Cabot when he reached the coast of Newfoundland in 1497. The image of the three-masted ship under full sail was based on a model and taken from a photograph. Beneath the water lies the Latin inscription “FLOREAT TERRA NOVA”—“May the New Found Land Flourish”. The obverse features the effigy of King George VI by T. H. Paget.
