New puzzle coin set shows a nation on the move.

Look to the North Star for direction in this journey through Canada’s history! Like tinted memories, and inspired by iconic images from our past, the colour depictions on the 13 puzzle-shaped coins trace the evolution of transportation in Canada, culminating in the geography-themed centrepiece. But this set represents more than just a timeline of travel – it’s about connections, for as the nation evolved, so too did the transportation links that keep us connected and moving forward together.

 This set is the story of Canada, told piece by piece and through the different ties that bind.

The puzzle-shaped coins include depictions of:

  • Kayak
  • Stagecoach
  • Prairie Schooner
  • Voyageur Canoe
  • Railway
  • Dogsled
  • Passenger Steamboat
  • Passenger Liner
  • Air Transport
  • Snowmobile
  • Pontoon Airplane
  • Passenger Bus
  • Train Ferry

On the selectively gold-plated $50 centrepiece, the reverse design by Royal Canadian Mint engraver Alex Tirabasso features a compass rose over a map of Canada that represents history, exploration and travel; the compass rose also forms a repeating pattern on the obverse. Designed by artist Trevor Tennant, and inspired by period imagery, the puzzle-shaped $20 coins feature colour snapshots of 13 historically significant modes of transportation and a pattern of interconnected maple leaves. Each obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
