Description of the room
The July 1999 coin belongs to the Royal Canadian Mint's Millennium Series. Entitled "A Nation of Builders," this month's design pays tribute to the men and women who built Canada's infrastructure and foundations. This Choice BU ( Brilliant Uncirculated) example was selected for its sustained metallic luster and the clarity of its design, offering a wear-free coin with complete original luster.
The Obverse (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Dora de Pédery-Hunt. The field is crisp and bright, perfectly highlighting the details of the crown and portrait.
The Reverse (July: A Nation of Builders)
The design, by Donald F. Warkentin, illustrates several symbols of construction and development, including architectural structures evoking labor and engineering. The words "CANADA" and "JULY / JUILLET 1999" frame the motif. In MS-63 grade, the engraving lines are precise and the luster flows beautifully across the entire surface.
