This 2020 bullion restrike reproduces the design from Canada's last circulating silver dollar before decimalization effectively ended the series as a pocket coin — the 1967 centennial year marked Canada's final attempt to keep a dollar coin in everyday commerce before inflation made silver coinage economically untenable. The Royal Canadian Mint has issued numerous collector restrikes tied to that centennial program, which remains one of the most commemorated anniversaries in Canadian numismatic history.
The .9999 fine gold specification places it within the Mint's modern bullion and collector framework established after 1979, when Canada introduced the Maple Leaf series and set new refinery standards.
