2018 - $20 - 1 oz. Pure Silver Gold-Plated Coin - A Modern Allegory: Borealia

She is bold, youthful, powerful, yet peaceful—she is Borealia, who radiates strength and confidence! The symbolic figurehead is a modern take on a classic allegory, one that represents the collective spirit of Canadians in today's world: hopeful and steady in our resolve, as we rise to meet the challenges that lie ahead. A modern take on a classic allegory, Borealia seamlessly combines symbolic elements to bridge Canada's past, present and future. The feather, poppies and fur cape allude to the weight of history. And as she continues a journey that started long before Confederation, Borealia remains the confident image of the people she represents, whose ideals, successes and innovative spirit continuously shape and re-define our future.
