First Release In Moments to Hold Series Honors Centennial of Canada’s Coat of Arms

Since 1921, Canada’s official Coat of Arms has been a timeless symbol of sovereignty and tradition. Colloquially referred to as the “Arms of Canada,” it represents Canada’s identity and history wherever it appears, from passports to proclamations, and now, on this gleaming silver coin that celebrates the centennial of this iconic emblem.

A Symbol of Sovereignty and Tradition

Fabulously struck by the prestigious Royal Canadian Mint in a quarter ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver, this coin is a true numismatic masterpiece. It shows in rich intricate detail the four symbols of the founding nations of Canada on a shield: the three royal lions of England, the royal lion of Scotland, the royal fleur-de-lis of France, and the royal Irish harp of Tara. The shield is supported by the lion of England holding the Royal Union Flag and the unicorn of Scotland carrying the flag of Royal France. Floral emblems in the design represent the four founding nations — the English rose, the Scottish thistle, the French fleur-de-lis, and the Irish shamrock. The Royal Crown is shown at the top of the design.
