Canada: 2023 $50 Allegory of Peace Pure Silver Coin

Design: Designed by artist Rebecca Yanovskaya, the coin design features a 3D winged allegorical figure of Peace, securely positioned at the centre of the coin, where it can be viewed from both sides. Cast in 99.9% pure silver and plated with gold, the allegorical figure of Peace is framed by olive branches as she stands atop the world with her wings slightly curled over protectively. She wears a crown of maple leaves, cradles a globe in one hand, and an olive wreath in the other, as she strikes a pose that suggests a striving for peace and a hopefulness for the future. The allegory is flanked by an outer ring crafted in 99.99% silver and antique finish, featuring a motif composed of doves carrying an arrangement of olive and maple leaf branches. The motif repeats on the obverse, which features a rear view of the cast element, while the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt appears at the top. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign.
