40th Anniversary of The Canadian Flag: A 2005 Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Dollar & Interactive CD-ROM, from the Royal Canadian Mint, is in BRAND NEW Condition, still factory wrapped in plastic.
This stunning .9999 pure silver coin commemorates Canada's 40th Anniversary of the national flag introduced in 1965. The birth of the Canadian flag that we know today was inspired by the planning for the centennial celebrations of 1967. Numerous experts joined the parliamentary committee and after months of reviewing countless proposals, a new design was found. It incorporated red and white, Canada's national colours that had been proclaimed in 1921. And the maple leaf, recognized as a symbol of Canada since the early days of the fur trade, emerged as the most fitting emblem. On February 15, 1965 Canada's new flag was raised for the first time in an official ceremony on Parliament Hill.ย
Uniquely packaged in a tri-fold presentation folder, this gift set includes an encapsulated 2005 (1965-) Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Dollar along with an interactive CD-ROM.ย The interactive CD-ROM includes a complete history of the Canadian Flag and various versions of the National Anthem in both official languages of English and French.
