Issued to mark the 25th anniversary of the Canadian flag, which was itself a politically bruising affair when it debuted in 1965 — Lester Pearson's government endured months of parliamentary deadlock and fierce opposition from those who saw the Red Ensign as irreplaceable. The new flag passed only after closure was invoked in the House of Commons, an unusual procedural move that left lasting bitterness in some quarters.
The .9167 fineness matches traditional 22-karat crown gold, the same alloy used in British sovereigns for centuries — a quietly conservative choice for a coin celebrating an emphatically nationalist symbol.
