1 oz 2026 Peace Dollar Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Canada’s Peace Dollar—rooted in peace, crowned in gold.

At the heart of Canada’s Peace Dollar stands a graceful personification of Peace that is poised, dignified, and, on the 2026 edition, highlighted by a contrasting precious metal.

On this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver piece, most of the engraved reverse is non-plated, allowing a gold-plated Lady Peace and the land beneath her feet to shine all the more. This intentional contrast between silver and gold elevates the art, while reflecting a belief that peace is not just precious—it defines the space around it, casting a golden light that warms and uplifts.

Your updated gold-plated portrait of Lady Peace.

SELECTIVE GOLD PLATING

Lady Peace is resplendent in yellow gold plating, which casts a golden light that echoes the quiet power of peace itself. The land beneath her feet, the rim on both sides of the coin, and the effigy on the obverse are also gold-plated.

A GORGEOUS MIX OF FROSTINGS

Lady Peace is classically engraved, frosted to perfection and resplendent in a cameo-like finish, which contrasts beautifully with the highly reflective, mirror-like field.

The reverse design by retired Royal Canadian Mint Senior Engraver Susan Taylor features a gold-plated, full-body portrait of Lady Peace, a personification of Peace (“PAX”). Inspired by the allegorical figure atop the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Lady Peace is dressed in a flowing robe and crowned with a wreath of maple leaves and olive branches expressing a core Canadian value of peace. Her serene countenance exudes poise, strength and quiet confidence as she extends her right arm, almost as if the peace wreath she holds is an offering to all. Lady Peace stands on the shoreline, which is similarly plated with yellow gold, and is supported by maple leaves that are symbolic of Canada. Canada’s motto, “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (“From sea to sea”) appears in the sky above, where the sun’s rays break through the rain clouds and form the shape of a maple leaf. The rim on both sides of the coin is plated with yellow gold, while the obverse features the gold-plated effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
