| Additional information |
The "Celebration of Canada" series was produced as a weekly release program throughout 2017, Canada's sesquicentennial year. Each issue in the series was struck in .9999 gold with a platinum plating — a technically demanding combination that the Royal Canadian Mint had refined through earlier bimetallic programs. Mintages were kept deliberately low, typically around 1,500 pieces per design, making individual issues genuinely scarce despite the series' breadth.
The 150th anniversary prompted an unusually large coordinated commemorative output from Ottawa, with dozens of issuing authorities producing competing programs simultaneously.
