2021 $50 FINE SILVER COIN
GREAT LAKES TRIBUTE

 A custom “true scale” map. This marks the first time a cartographer has created a map exclusively for the Royal Canadian Mint. But this isn’t just any map—it is a true representation of the Great Lakes and surrounding region, scaled down (1:22 000 000) to fit this coin’s reverse. An RCM first!
 In colour. Colour over engraved relief adds new layers to the custom map. Each hue represents a different land cover, as often included on maps.
 Includes traditional map elements. This map of the Great Lakes was drawn to scale and includes elements ranging from the traditional compass rose to modern road markings.
 A patterned obverse. The map theme extends to the coin’s obverse, where the field is marked by laser-engraved graticules—the network of lines representing latitude and longitude.
