It's an impressive portrait of Canada made up of some of our most prominent emblems and heraldry. Meticulously crafted from 99.99% bright 5 oz. sterling silver and selectively gold plated, this collectible features a new rendition of the Canadian coat of arms, redrawn by the artist behind the current official rendition: Cathy Bursey-Sabourin. The coin's large diameter (65 mm) allows the viewer to appreciate all the intricacies of the heraldic design, rivalled only by the elaborate border, on which the birds of Canada - all 13 provincial and territorial emblems - are joined by heraldic dividing lines to create an exciting depiction of the Canadian landscape.
The coat of arms of Canada as you've never seen it before.
Artist Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, as Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority, drew the current official rendition of the Canadian coat of arms (or coat of arms of Canada), which was revised in 1994 to include a ring with the motto of the Order of Canada, Desiderantes meliorem patriam (Latin for "Desiring a better country").
