2021 $50 FINE SILVER COIN
THE FIRST 100 YEARS OF CONFEDERATION: AN EMERGING COUNTRY

1st coin of the series The First 100 Years of Confederation.

- In the first 100 years of Confederation, the story of Canada was shaped by our efforts to bridge distances and come together — first by rail, then by sea, and finally, by air. It is the story that unfolds in the Royal Canadian Mint’s The First 100 Years of Confederation series, a three-part celebration of some of the mechanized history makers that helped shape a modern Canada.
- History on the move. This is Coin #1 of 3 in a new limited series that tells the story of Canada’s first 100 years (1867-1967). Each chapter is represented by a different mode of transportation and art style.
- Coin #1 presents a glimpse of Canada in the railway era (1867-1914). These were the years in which the locomotive — like the historic 4-4-0 one featured on this coin — was the driver of progress, and when transcontinental railways were the ribbons of steel that wrapped around almost every aspect of life in Canada.
- Art nouveau style. Let the art guide you: each design is rendered in a different art style that channels the spirit of the era, beginning with the art nouveau movement that flourished at the end of the 19th century.
- Five effigies on one coin. The obverse features the effigies of five monarchs whose combined reigns span a century of change. Each effigy is accompanied by a Latin inscription stating the monarch’s name and royal title, as seen on some of Canada’s most historic coins.
