New for 2024: A yellow gold plated UHR portrait of peace.
Each Peace Dollar is a powerful representation of Canada's ongoing dedication to universal human rights and world peace. Before becoming Prime Minister of Canada, Lester B. Pearson was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for organizing the first UN peacekeeping force. In the decades since, UN peacekeepers have helped de-escalate conflicts and save lives throughout the world. That legacy of peace and international cooperation is reflected on the reverse of this 5 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin, where the yellow gold plated ultra-high relief (UHR) portrait radiates hope for a peaceful and prosperous future.
