About

Special Edition Proof Silver Dollar – The Mint's Centennial (2008)

In 1908, the institution that would become known as the Royal Canadian Mint officially opened for business. Over the past century, the Mint has emerged as a global leader in minting, with a revolutionary coin-plating process, the purest 99.999% bullion gold coin and the first coloured circulation coin just a few of its internationally renowned firsts.

Today, an automated plant in Winnipeg (Manitoba) produces circulation coins for Canada and international clients while the Ottawa (Ontario) facility performs refining/assaying and the production of bullion (investment) and numismatic (collector) coins.

Every commemorative coin produced by the Mint expresses a theme or ideal that reflects Canada's heritage and values. A limited-edition work of art in silver, gold, even platinum, it is a visual essay on the Canadian experience, just as Canada's circulation coins bring a sense of nationhood to every commercial transaction they support - a story of growth and transformation over 100 years.
