2023 Canadian Commemorative 7-Coin Collector Keepsake: 'HONOURING ELSIE MACGILL'is in Brand New, Factory-wrapped MINT Condition.

Elizabeth “Elsie” MacGill (1905-1980) was a person of brilliant mind and unconquerable spirit who excelled in aeronautical engineering and elevated others by championing women’s rights. Twice featured (with and without colour) in this Commemorative Collector Keepsake Card, the 2023 $1 commemorative circulation coin celebrates this exceptional Canadian once dubbed the “Queen of the Hurricanes,” whose accomplishments—as well as her exemplary desire to improve and uplift others—were driven by her unrelenting belief that we can all soar higher.

Each Keepsake Card includes both versions of the 2023 $1 Honouring Elsie MacGill commemorative circulation coin: one with colour and one without (engraved only). Dubbed “Queen of the Hurricanes,” MacGill oversaw the engineering work on Hawker Hurricanes produced in Canada during the Second World War, and that aircraft is highlighted on the colourized coin. Your coins are packaged together in a colourful folder that allows for easy viewing of the coins and a timeline of key events in the life of Elsie MacGill.

Composition: Three-ply brass-plated steel
Weight: 6.27 grams
Diameter: 26.5 mm
Artist: Claire Watson (reverse); Susanna Blunt (obverse)
