2025 $25 FINE SILVER COIN
THE CALLING OF AN ENGINEER (R&D LAB)

The field of engineering draws many of Canada's best and brightest – individuals dedicated to innovation and problem-solving, and to designing, maintaining and improving the structures, tools and systems that impact our lives. Upon earning their degree, Canada’s engineering graduates are invited to take part in an obligation ceremony, where they are conferred the Iron Ring that is a symbol of their professional values and responsibilities.

That faceted ring inspired this 99.99% pure silver coin’s uniquely shaped edge, itself an impressive feat of engineering. On the coin’s reverse, the ring-like rim rises up to encircle the Royal Canadian Mint’s homage to Canada’s engineers and their many varied achievements, on the 100th anniversary (2025) of the rite of passage known as The Calling of an Engineer.

➢ A Mint first! What better way to honour Canada’s engineers than with a feat of engineering: led by our R&D team, this is the first coin to feature a faceted edge and raised rim shaped like the Iron Ring, which symbolizes the pride that engineers have in their profession, as well as their obligation.
➢ The uniquely shaped edge and rim were specially designed for this theme
➢ Another nod to engineers, the word “CANADA” appears in blueprint lettering on the coin’s reverse.
➢ Each coin is enclosed in a thicker, oversized capsule that allows for better viewing of the raised rim and faceted edge from all angles.
