Canada: 2019 $10 50th Anniversary of The Official Languages Act Pure Silver Coin

Canada: 2019 $10 50th Anniversary of The Official Languages Act Pure Silver Coin

Design: Designed by Joel Kimmel, the selectively coloured reverse is double dated (1969 - 2019) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act. Two red maple leaves represent Canada's two official languages, English and French. Throughout the field, a laser-engraved circular pattern of maple leaves pulls the viewer into the design while expressing a surge of pride. From the English version of "O CANADA" come the words "WITH GLOWING HEARTS", which are perpendicular to the French words, "DES PLUS BRILLANTS EXPLOITS". Encircling the design are the full lyrics of the bilingual version of the national anthem, with the text so small, it's almost not visible. The reverse includes a bilingual "50 YEARS ANS" inscription. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
