2024 $20 Fine Silver Coin
Commemorating Black History: Amber Valley

6th coin in the series Commemorating Black History.

They headed north to Canada, lured by the promise of land and guided by the hope of a better life free from racial violence. Arriving in Amber Valley (formerly Pine Creek), Alberta, the Black settlers worked hard to establish a thriving community, some 300 people strong, blazing a trail as they went and building a rich legacy through their achievements. From the Royal Canadian Mint, the 2024 Commemorating Black History coin brings to life an often-overlooked story from Canada’s immigration history. Its finely engraved reverse captures the spirit of Amber Valley—one of the largest Black settlements in western Canada during the early 20th century—and honours the Black pioneers who persevered through hardships and hostility, facing down discrimination and building up a foundation for future generations.

 This is the sixth coin in the Royal Canadian Mint’s annual Commemorating Black History series, which honours the enormous contributions that Black Canadians have made—and continue to make—to Canada’s story. It is a celebration of resilience, innovation and determination.
 This is the first time Amber Valley has been highlighted on an RCM coin, and its reverse design provides a glimpse of Amber Valley’s past.
 The coin’s reverse makes it an inspiring piece of visual storytelling, and every engraved detail has historical meaning.
 As with previous Commemorating Black History coins, the 2024 edition features a symbol of Canada on its obverse, where the maple leaf forms a repeating pattern.
 Crafted in 1 oz. of 99.99% pure silver with a limited mintage of 5,500 coins.
