Royal Canadian Mint's 2023 Pure Silver Coin - Allegory of Peace Captures Coin of the Year Award in the Most Inspirational Category

Through this prestigious annual awards program, the Mint competes with global industry peers for the world's most coveted recognition of excellence in coin design and manufacturing.

The Royal Canadian Mint has earned another prestigious Coin of the Year Award for its 2023 Pure Silver Coin - Allegory of Peace, which has been recognized in the Most Inspirational category. This annual award program sees the Mint competing against global industry peers for the world's most coveted recognition of excellence in coin design and manufacturing, adding another accolade to the Mint's growing list of previous numismatic awards.

In a design by artist Rebecca Yanovskaya, the allegorical figure of Peace represents Canada's longstanding commitment to peace. The reverse of the 2023 Pure Silver Coin - Allegory of Peace features a three-dimensional sculpture winged figure of Peace, suspended within the outer ring of the coin.

The absence of a field surrounding the image of Peace has allowed the miniature sculpture to be viewed from both the sides of the coin. Cast in pure silver and plated with gold, Peace is framed by olive branches as she stands atop the world with her wings slightly curled over protectively. She wears a crown of maple leaves, cradles a globe in one hand, and an olive wreath in the other. The allegory is flanked by an outer ring crafted in pure silver with an antique finish, featuring a motif composed of doves carrying an arrangement of olive and maple leaf branches. The motif repeats on the obverse, which features a rear view of the cast figure.

The annual Coin of the Year competition receives nominations from an international consortium of mint representatives and numismatists. The judging is conducted by an international panel of the world's leading mint officials, medalists, journalists, central bank and museum officials. The winners were selected from among 100 finalists spanning ten categories.
