About
Celebrates Canada's own 'Lady Liberty'
Female allegories have long been featured on coinage around the world. Now, a powerful figure from Canada's past is making a comeback: the historic Miss Canada icon. A visual representation ofnational values and identity who first appeared after Confederation, Miss Canada appeared in everything from political cartoons to political advertising, literature and film. She was originally portrayed as Britannia's youthful and obedient daughter-but as Canada's role and international relationships changed over time, so too did the symbolism associated with this icon. Miss Canada was withdrawn from public useshortly after the Second World War.
Now Miss Canada makes a special appearance on this 1 oz silver coin for 2013, with all the ideals and values of today's 21st-century Canada. With a limited mintage of 8,500, ensure you order yours today!
