| Additional information |
The "Les armoiries du Canada" branding on this issue reflects the Royal Canadian Mint's longstanding practice of producing oversized collector pieces tied to the formal heraldic arms, which were significantly revised in 1994 when the Canadian Heraldic Authority added the ribbon bearing the dual-language motto. At 157.6 grams of .9999 silver, this sits firmly in the Mint's kilogram-adjacent prestige series — pieces produced almost entirely for the collector market, with face value serving as a legal formality rather than any commercial function.
