About
Features a stunning iconic rendering of a new Miss Canada allegory for modern-day Canada
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 of national values and identity who first appeared after Confederation, Miss Canada appeared in everything from political cartoons to political advertising, literature and film. She wasoriginally 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 Miss Canada was withdrawn from public use shortly afterthe Second World War.

Seated on the “throne” of the Canadian Shield, Miss Canada is classically dressed, sporting a crown of maple leaves, her right hand open in a welcoming gesture, and holding astaff in her left. The landscape surrounding Miss Canada demonstrates our country’s robust natural variety—including vast mountains, a pure glacial river, large waterway and a wild forested shoreline. An eagle flies overhead the image of a jumping fish. The base of the image is decorated with a garland composed of more than 25 species of Canadian leaves. The reverse is engraved with the word “CANADA,” the date “2013” and the facevalue.
Rich in symbolism and meaning, this set is a wonderful gift to commemorate Canada Day, new citizenship, and other important events. It makes a stunning addition to any collection featuring Canadian heritage, history, classical coin design, natural imagery or Canadiana.
