Here's one of my favorite designs ever used on a Canadian silver dollar. The coin was issued to mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mint ( RCM). I really like the way the maple leaf transitions into a flying goose Common Loon - two iconic symbols of Canadian coinage brought together on one coin! The design is the work of Jason Bouwman.

That's a fantastic looking Dollar. I think that is a Loon as Loon images are pretty common on alot of their other dollar coins. |

@Rothery: Thanks for spotting the error. While writing the post. I thought I recalled the bird on the coin as being a goose (reminiscent of the 1967 silver dollar). Obviously, I recalled incorrectly!  If I had re-read my own own post about a Mint medal with the same design, I wouldn't have made the mistake! Here's the medal post from nine years ago!

Here's another Bald Eagle coin, this time from Tuvalu; it was issued in 2014. I don't typically buy coins from Tuvalu, but I thought the eagle's portrait on this coin was so strong and well done that I made an exception! The coin was struck by Australia's Perth Mint; the Mint's "P" mint mark can be seen at the 3 o'clock position.   Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

From 2018, here's the silver dollar from the three-coin breast cancer awareness program issued by US Mint on behalf of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The clad half-dollar and pink gold half eagle coins from the program share the same design. A Tiger Swallowtail butterfly is seen on each side of the coin; butterflies represent hope for those afflicted.   Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Here's a commemorative piece from 2017. It was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint ( RCM) as part of its coin program to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. It is a large-format re-creation of Alex Colville's 1967 Flying Goose design for Canada'a 1967 commemorative silver dollar.   Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

It's a Mexican medal commemorating the 13th Livestock Competition held in 1906 in Coyoacan Mexico.  Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

Pretty cool nss-52. I don't ever recall seeing a dog on a coin before.
