2021 - $ - Pure Silver 140th Anniversary of the Trans-Canada Railway 2 oz. Gold-Plated Coin

Coin #7 in our annual Renewed Silver Dollar series looks back at the silver dollar issued in 1981. Re-created in 2 ounces of 99.99% pure silver and enhanced with selective gold plating, the historic design marked the 100th anniversary (1881-1981) of the start of construction of the Trans-Canada Railway. Canada's first transcontinental railway took four years to build, and once completed, it physically united Canadians from east to west and played a big role in this nation's history.
