| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Bell's death, this coin reflects Canada's long-standing claim on Bell's legacy — he took Canadian citizenship in 1882 and conducted much of his experimental work at his Baddeck estate in Nova Scotia, where the Aerial Experiment Association also developed the Silver Dart, the first powered aircraft flown in Canada. The RCM has leaned heavily on the Bell association over the years, making this one of several issues in a recurring commemorative thread rather than a singular release.
