Comment
These are the words that ring out on Canada Day, at citizenship ceremonies and before the first face-off of a field hockey game. Sung in our two official languages, English and French, O Canada invites all Canadians to join their voices in a musical expression of pride! Embellished with the lyrics of Canada's national anthem, this collector's item marks the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act, which established the equal status of the English and French languages in Canada, whose history they have written for over 300 years.The design features two red maple leaves - one for each official language - against a background of laser-engraved leaves that plunges the observer into the heart of the celebration while evoking a surge of pride. But the beauty of this piece lies first and foremost in its fine details, almost invisible to the naked eye! If you look closely, you can see the words of the bilingual version of O Canada, engraved in the two languages that are an integral part of our identity.
For the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act, here's a bilingual celebration of O Canada!
Special features
O CANADA! This is our first piece to feature text so small it's barely visible. If you look closely at the cord, you can see the words of O Canada in both official languages, English and French.
LASER ENGRAVING AND TRADITIONAL ENGRAVING! A recurring circular pattern of laser-engraved maple leaves creates a sense of movement behind the large, traditionally engraved elements.
BILINGUAL CELEBRATION! This evocative piece marks the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act (1969), with the words O Canada in French and English.
SYMBOLIC COLOR! The engraved design features two maple leaves - one for each official language - tinted with one of Canada's official colors.
DIVERSITY, SYNONYMOUS WITH PRIDE! An affordable addition to any collection, this piece is an expression of national pride in Canada's linguistic duality. Our two official languages are an integral part of our history, and still shape our identity today.
Did you know that?
Confederation, or more precisely section 133 of the British North America Act, 1867, designates English and French as the languages of our federal legislature and courts. But it was the Official Languages Act that established the equal status of both languages when it came into force on September 7, 1969.
The primary objective of the Act was to ensure that all Canadians could use the official language of their choice - English or French - to communicate with or receive services from the Government of Canada.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Official Languages Act, which was passed in 1969 and recognized English and French as the official languages of Canada. The coin's design features a bilingual inscription, with the words "Official Languages Act" in both English and French, highlighting the importance of linguistic duality in Canadian culture.
