| Reverse description | A stylized maple leaf rendered in low relief occupies the central field, serving as a symbolic representation of harmony and peaceful coexistence among peoples. The bilingual legend HARMONY / HARMONIE flanks the upper portion of the design, divided by the maple leaf motif, with the date 2000 inscribed centrally and the country name CANADA positioned along the lower periphery. The designer's initials HD appear in the lower field. The overall composition conveys the theme of unity and concord, one of twelve Millennium Series designs released for circulation in 2000. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Canadian Mint's twelve-coin Millennium Series, this issue was one of several designs commissioned to mark the year 2000, with each coin assigned a theme representing an aspect of Canadian identity. "Harmony" was among the more abstract of the twelve — a deliberate counterpoint to the historically grounded themes elsewhere in the set. The series was an unusual exercise for the RCM: civilian designers, including students and amateur artists, submitted winning designs through a national competition rather than in-house engravers.
Circulation strikes were produced in the hundreds of millions across the series, which substantially limits any premium for most examples found in rolls.
