A Mint FIRST! Our ode to engineers has a faceted edge and rim shaped like the Iron Ring.
A most honourable vocation, the field of engineering draws many of Canada’s best and brightest—individuals dedicated to innovation and problem-solving, and improving our lives. Upon earning their degree, Canada’s engineering graduates are invited to take part in an obligation ceremony, where they are conferred the Iron Ring that is a symbol of their professional values and responsibilities. That faceted ring inspired this coin’s uniquely shaped edge, itself an impressive feat of engineering. On the coin’s reverse, the ring-like rim rises up to encircle our homage to Canada’s engineers and their many varied achievements, on the 100ᵗʰ anniversary of the rite of passage known as The Calling of an Engineer.
Honouring Canada’s engineers with the Royal Canadian Mint's own feat of engineering!

A MINT FIRST!
What better way to honour Canada’s engineers than with our own feat of engineering! Led by the R&D team, this is the first coin to feature a faceted edge and rim shaped like the Iron Ring, which symbolizes the pride engineers have in their profession, as well as their obligation.
COMPLEX DESIGN
A mix of laser and traditional engraving, the reverse design represents the story and achievements of Canadian engineers over the past 100 years.
LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?
The Iron Ring doesn’t just represent a milestone for Canadian engineers—it serves as an expression of pride for their profession, a reminder of their duty, and a symbol of their commitment to supporting fellow members of the engineering community.
The first ever Calling of an Engineer was held on April 25, 1925, in Montreal, and another ceremony was held one week later, on May 1, 1925, in Toronto. While the original rings were made of iron, most of today’s rings are stainless steel.
An homage to Canada’s engineers, the reverse design by artist Pandora Young is a representation of a century of engineering innovation and achievements. The diverse field is represented by (clockwise from top): a computer screen with a robotic hand, set against an AI-inspired dot design; a wire gauge; the chemical diagram for insulin partially shown; a test tube and dropper; a hand holding a pencil; a spur gear next to a compass and the tip of a protractor; a soldering iron; and a computer chip. In the centre, the word “CANADA” appears in blueprint lettering, along with the double dates “1925-2025” commemorating the 100th anniversary (“1925-2025”) of the Calling of an Engineer—a rite of passage for Canada’s engineering graduates. The raised rim is uniquely shaped to resemble the Iron Ring worn by Canadian engineers as a symbol of professional obligation. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE
La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
