Description
Canada: 2025 $50 Peace Dollar 5oz Pure Silver Coin
Design: The reverse design by retired RCM Senior Engraver Susan Taylor features a full-body portrait of Lady Peace, a personification of Peace (“PAX”). Inspired by the allegorical figure atop the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Lady Peace is dressed in a flowing robe and crowned with a wreath of maple leaves and olive branches expressing a core Canadian value of peace. Her serene countenance exudes poise, strength and quiet confidence as she extends her right arm, almost as if the peace wreath she holds is an offering to all. Lady Peace stands on the shoreline and is supported by maple leaves that are symbolic of Canada, while Canada’s motto, “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (“From sea to sea”) appears in the sky above, where the sun’s rays break through the rain clouds and form the shape of a maple leaf. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
