1967 Canada 1 Dollar - Centennial of Confederation
80% Silver — PL-67 Quality (Proof-Like)
Description of the room
The 1967 dollar is part of a historic series created for Canada's 100th anniversary. For this special occasion, the Royal Canadian Mint replaced all regular designs with images of Canadian wildlife. It was also the very last year that the circulating dollar contained silver.
The Reverse Pattern
The reverse, designed by renowned Canadian artist Alex Colville, depicts a Canada goose in flight. The design is admired for its clean simplicity and its ability to capture the bird's serenity and determination. The dates "1867-1967" appear at the bottom of the coin, marking the country's century of existence.
The Obverse
The obverse features the second portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, known as the "Tiara" portrait (with diadem), designed by Arnold Machin. The details of the crown and hair are particularly sharp on a strike of this quality.
Quality and Grade PL-67
The designation PL-67 (Proof-Like) indicates a "Superb Gem" specimen from a presentation set. At this grade, the piece is virtually perfect:
-
The fields have an exceptional mirror-like shine, offering a striking contrast with the reliefs.
-
The absence of visible contact marks confirms optimal preservation since its production more than 50 years ago.
-
The original luster is vivid, without any patina or oxidation, which is rare for silver pieces of this period.
