About

Celebrate Canada's legacy as a nation of peace with the 2021 Peace Dollar!

Our nation is widely known for its dedication to peace, and that commitment – as well as its legacy – has been handed down and cherished by each new generation of Canadians. It was Canadian Lester B. Pearson who, in his capacity as Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs, organized the very first UN peacekeeping force in 1957. His efforts earned him a Nobel Peace Prize and helped cement Canada's reputation as both a peacekeeping and peace-loving nation. That vision holds true today, as Canada continues to advocate for peace and freedom the world over.

Our continued commitment to peace.

Special Features:

Reverse proof finish: A stunning reverse proof finish puts the spotlight squarely on the brilliant relief, which looks extra-luminous against a matte field.

Features

Ultra high relief

Your coin is a soaring celebration of peace thanks to ultra-high relief engraving, which lifts the design to new heights while giving it extra depth and lustre.

Edge lettering

The celebration of peace on the reverse spills onto the coin's edge, where the Latin word "PAX" (peace) is engraved in a repeating pattern.

DID YOU KNOW?

It was 100 years ago, in 1921, that the U.S. Mint issued the first Peace Dollar. It was designed by Anthony de Francisci and struck as a .900 fine silver coin to celebrate peace after the First World War.

Lester B. Pearson wasn't the only one to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his peacekeeping efforts. In 1988, thousands of Canadians were among the peacekeepers of the world who were collectively awarded for their service in UN missions.

The 1988 Nobel Peace Prize inspired Canada to establish our own Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal (CPSM), now proudly worn by many veterans.
