2024 $20 FINE SILVER COIN
150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF L. M. MONTGOMERY

L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942), one of Canada’s most enduringly popular authors, has influenced culture and literature internationally. Publishing hundreds of short stories and poems in addition to twenty novels, she achieved lasting fame through the creation of one of the world’s unforgettable characters: a plucky, talkative orphan girl with red braids, big feelings and imagination, and the same deep love for Prince Edward Island as her creator.

With the 2024 $1 commemorative circulation coin, L. M. Montgomery becomes the first author to be featured on a Canadian circulation coin, which shares a reverse design with this 99.99% pure silver coin marking the 150th anniversary ("150 YEARS ANS”) of the author’s birth. On this fine silver coin’s reverse, the modified design has been given a colour boost that highlights the Anne of Green Gables author’s inspiration and the most famous character of her imagination. It features a more detailed view of the P.E.I. landscape, along with a full colour rendering of the fictional Anne Shirley - with her famous red hair.

 Celebrate the power of imagination. Flowing from the engraved portrait of the Anne of Green Gables author putting pen to paper, the design shifts to colour and the rich inner world of L. M. Montgomery,  where the fictional Anne Shirley gazes out at the P.E.I. landscape immortalized in Montgomery’s works.
 Celebrate the life and literary works of one of Canada’s most widely read authors, L. M. Montgomery. On the 150th anniversary of her birth, the creator of the bestselling Anne of Green Gables and many other works is the first author commemorated on a Canadian circulation coin.
 Features an augmented version of the 2024 $1 commemorative circulation coin’s reverse design, in 1 oz. of luminous 99.99% pure silver.
 The style of the author’s signature, which is re created on the coin’s reverse, is how Montgomery signed many of her books - complete with miniature cat drawing.
 A great gift or keepsake for readers, fans of the author’s many works, and the kindred spirits who relate to the imaginative heroine of Anne of Green Gables and her Island home.
