CANADA’S
FLAG AT 50.
Flags have been flying high for thousands of years, and 2015 marks the
50th year when Canada’s National Flag came on the scene.
After the First and Second World Wars, there was a growing sense across
Canada that the nation needed a new flag to reflect its emerging sense of
national identity. Canada’s approaching centennial in 1967 added to the
momentum, and by the start of the decade, a 15-member parliamentary
committee was busy reviewing submissions.
Designs fell into three general categories: versions of the Red Ensign, flags
with multiple maple leaves, and designs that focused on a single leaf.
Three factors influenced the final decision to select the single-leaf design.
1: Red and white had been proclaimed Canada’s national colours by King
George V in 1921. 2: The Royal Military College in Kingston (Ontario) had a
flag with a single emblem that had proven to be visually striking and
effective. 3: Over the years, notable Canadians had often recommended
that a red maple leaf on a white field should be adopted as Canada’s
national emblem since the maple leaf had witnessed much of the nation’s
history, even identifying Canadian soldiers at war and Canadian athletes
at Olympic sporting events.
After centuries as a voice for Canada’s growing sense of national identity,
the maple leaf was given an official place of honour on Canada’s National
Flag. It was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill on February 15, 1965.

2015 SPECIMEN SET—BLUE JAY
This one-of-a-kind “loonie” is available only with
this set. It features a unique avian design of the
blue jay, one of the most dynamic visitors to
backyard feeders across southern Canada. The
blue jay is easily recognized by its telltale colouring
and other distinct features that have been
beautifully crafted onto this coin’s design—its
spotted wing and tail feathers, the pointed crest
on its head, and facial features that hint at the
sharp mind behind this bird’s inquisitive nature.

Canadian Rockies
CELEBRATING
MIRROR-IMAGE
LANDSCAPES.
Earth’s greatest natural and cultural treasures are being preserved for
people to enjoy forever under the UNESCO convention of 1972. Each
UNESCO World Heritage Site is nominated by its home country to receive
legal protection under a number of international agreements (including
the Geneva Convention) and the combined guardianship of all 191
countries that are members of the UNESCO convention.
This captivating new series celebrates Canada’s iconic UNESCO World
Heritage Sites by partnering each location with a similar site worldwide to
illustrate the incredible diversity that underlies Earth’s seemingly identical
geographic features.
First up: Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks and Japan’s Fujisan cultural site.
While one is mountainous and the other volcanic, both sites are teeming
with life and are inextricably linked to their nation’s cultures in vastly
different ways. Mount Fuji has been a beacon for spiritual and artistic
pilgrimages for hundreds of years, but only the most daring 17th-century
European explorers would venture into the vast and isolated wilderness of
the Rockies.
Similar yet different, both a work of art, these coins showcase their
outstanding beauty in breathtaking silver or gold.

FATHER OF A

As Canada approaches the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, the Mint is
proud to launch these historic coins celebrating Sir John A. Macdonald, one of the

On July 1, 1867, the Dominion of Canada was born with Macdonald as the new
nation’s first Prime Minister. Knighted by Queen Victoria for his role in Canadian
Confederation, he led the nation until his death in 1891, with only a single interruption
in his leadership from 1873 to 1878.

HENRY HUDSON
4TH COIN IN THE GREAT
EXPLORERS OF CANADA
SERIES.
MULTIPLE FINISHES PLUS
LASER ENGRAVING ON
THE MAP.
Mystery and achievement are two words that
describe the life of one of the greatest explorers
of the 17th century. Very little is known of Henry
Hudson’s early life, and how he met his end. Yet,
his many accomplishments as an explorer shaped
the course of European—and Canadian—history.
One of his best-known contributions is the
mapping of an entry point to the North American
continent, a discovery that enabled England to
establish the Hudson’s Bay Company.
