| Reverse description | The colorized heraldic shield of New Brunswick dominates the center of the puzzle-shaped field. The shield displays a golden galleon under sail on blue and white waves in the lower portion, and a golden lion passant on a red ground in the upper chief. The shield is framed by engraved maple leaf sprays extending across the lower field, and a ribbon scroll bearing the confederation year 1867 appears below the shield. The overall design forms one piece of a larger inter-locking puzzle series commemorating Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ongoing provincial and territorial puzzle series, this issue is one of several interlocking coins designed so that multiple pieces from the set physically fit together edge-to-edge to form a composite image. New Brunswick's entry in the series draws on the province's position as one of the original four Confederation members of 1867.
The .9999 fine silver specification — four-nines purity rather than the more common sterling .925 — reflects the RCM's post-2011 move toward higher-purity collector strikes across most of its numismatic silver program.
