Comment
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 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin. It combines three extraordinary features: Ultra High Relief (UHR), rose gold plating (new for 2023) and a specially engineered pattern, which pulses with hope for a peaceful and prosperous future.DID YOU KNOW?
The allegory on your coin’s reverse first appeared on the 2019 Peace and Liberty medal before becoming a fixture on Canada’s annual Peace Dollar coins.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique pink gold plating, which gives it a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This plating is achieved through a process called electroplating, where a thin layer of pink gold is deposited onto the surface of the silver coin. The result is a coin that combines the durability and value of silver with the luxurious look and feel of gold.
