The coin serves as a tangible historical marker, celebrating a crucial step in the nation's political evolution.
Artistry: The obverse features Susanna Blunt's regal effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, a widely recognized portrait on Canadian coinage since 2003, exemplifying a modern, dignified portrayal. The reverse, crafted by artist Laurie McGaw, skillfully depicts a composite scene from the Charlottetown and Québec Conferences, capturing the gravitas of delegates. The design adheres to a realist, commemorative stylistic school, emphasizing historical accuracy and detailed rendering typical of Royal Canadian Mint issues.
