[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1221849, member: 6229"][FONT=arial][SIZE=4]Let us go back in Canada's historical time to the yesteryear 1967. 1967 was the Centennial (100th) year of their Confederation. To help in celebration of the occasion a commemorative Silver Dollar was authorized to be struck. The obverse of the Dollar would bear Arnold Machin's rendition of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse was to bear the image of a flying goose (1967 only) with the denomination (DOLLAR) above and the Centennial dates (1867-1967) below. Alex Colville designed the reverse. The resulting coin measures out to a crown-sized 36mm, weighs 23.3276 grams and contains 0.6000 ounce of silver. 6,767,496 were struck for circulation.
