2022 Canadian Commemorative 7-Coin Collector Keepsake: 'CELEBRATING OSCAR PETERSON', is in Brand New, Factory-wrapped MINT Condition.
He was one of the greatest pianists the world has ever seen, and Canada is proud to call him one of our own. Throughout his extraordinary six-decade career, Oscar Peterson (1925-2007)—beloved pianist, composer, educator and advocate—kept audiences spellbound through his displays of virtuosity and musicality. The Celebrating Oscar Peterson commemorative one-dollar coin is a joyous tribute to the legendary artist, and you’ll find two different versions of it in this Keepsake Card: a non-colour piece; and one with Peterson’s favourite colour, purple.
