When it's done well, I very much like silver coins with selective gold-plating. You have several more with this type of gold-plating design? |

Yes, I have several. Here's one, another silver dollar from Canada - it's from 2014. It was issued as a commemorative for the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of World War I. It presents a farewell scene on a train station platform as a volunteer prepares to go off to the Valcartier camp to be trained ahead of being sent to fight in the war in Europe.

Very nice!
Although commemorating the start of a war always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Rather commemorate the end of a war.

Here's another from Canada, the 2015 "Celebrating Canada" $10 half-ounce silver coin with selective gold-plating: From the Canadian Mint's web site: "[the] coin represents a map-like representation of Canada through the use of symbolism. The maple leaf's outline mimics Canada's geographical shape, stretching out to cover the far reaches of Canada. As though travelling from one coast to another, the Canadian Rocky Mountains and a white-tailed deer in the leaf's left-most point represent the rugged wilderness of the western provinces. Behind the deer, wheat symbolises the grain-growing Canadian prairies. The fishing industry and the Eastern provinces are represented in the right leaf point by a fish, a boat and the famed Peggy's Point Lighthouse. A partial map of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut — home to many of Canada's native peoples — dominates the leaf's middle point, while the Tower of Peace at the base symbolises the government and the tie that binds all Canadians together." I don't typically buy Canada's $10 coins, but I liked this one the first time I saw it and wanted an example for my collection! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

The 2008 Quebec 400th anniversary Silver Dollar (SD) (posted above) had an interesting companion piece - a commemorative medal that shared the SD's reverse design and was included in a Collector Card that could be purchased directly from the Mint. 2008 Quebec 400th Anniversary Medal  To learn more about the Collector Card that included the medal, check out: - 2008 Quebec 400th Collector CardCollecting history one coin or medal at a time!
