History

The 1967 Canadian Silver Dollar was minted to commemorate Canada's centennial of Confederation. Designed by artist Alex Colville, the reverse features a Canada Goose in flight, symbolizing Canada's natural heritage and national identity. The coin contains 80% silver and 20% copper, with a total weight of 23.3 grams. Over 6.7 million of these commemorative dollars were produced, making them widely available but still cherished for their historical significance and silver content. This coin appeals to numismatists, Canadian history enthusiasts, and silver collectors alike. The 1967 Centennial series is particularly valued for its artistic design and connection to a pivotal moment in Canadian history. Collectors appreciate these coins for both their intrinsic silver value and their cultural importance as symbols of Canadian pride and heritage. The Canada Goose design remains one of the most iconic and beloved images in Canadian numismatics.
