Comment
Starting in 2012, the Royal Canadian Mint commissioned commemorative coins to commemorate the War of 1812. Silver, gold, and platinum coins were made to commemorate the historic event.See 1 Dollar 1812 Charlton 2022 page 137
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it has a very low mintage of only 250 pieces, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item.
