2025 Canada $1 1 oz Silver Peace Dollar Proof – NGC PF70 First Day of Issue – Susan Taylor Signature Label
The 2025 Canada Peace Dollar commemorates the fifth anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mint’s celebrated Peace Dollar program with a breathtaking redesign—the first major visual evolution since the series debuted in 2020. More than just a continuation, the 2025 issue offers collectors multiple historic firsts, all captured in one-ounce of .9999 fine silver, struck to proof perfection.
This spectacular coin introduces a fully reimagined depiction of Lady Peace, designed once again by Susan Taylor, the original artist and retired Senior Engraver at the Royal Canadian Mint. Rather than the traditional profile, this "zoomed-out" scene shows Lady Peace in full stride, walking along a rugged Canadian shoreline. She steps upon a bed of maple leaves, symbolizing unity, peace, and the enduring spirit of the nation.
Coin Highlights:
A Masterpiece of Canadian Coinage
The 2025 Peace Dollar is as rich in symbolism as it is in craftsmanship. Lady Peace stands tall, resolute and elegant, with the rising sun at her back and the ocean beside her. She embodies the values of strength, resilience, and harmony.
The finish of the coin elevates Susan Taylor’s artwork to a whole new level. It blends three distinct visual effects:
This interplay of finishes delivers depth, contrast, and an unparalleled sense of realism that sets the 2025 edition apart from all previous releases in the series.
Canadian Royal Tradition: King Charles III Debut
2025 marks the first time King Charles III appears on a Canadian Peace Dollar. In keeping with Canadian tradition, this is not the same portrait featured on UK coinage. Instead, the Royal Canadian Mint commissioned a brand-new left-facing effigy by Canadian artist Steven Rosati, lending a distinct national flavor to the monarch’s presence on the obverse.
NGC-Graded Perfection – PF70 UCAM – First Day of Issue
Each coin has been graded Proof 70 Ultra Cameo by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC)—a flawless designation reserved for coins with zero imperfections. What makes this coin even more desirable is the First Day of Issue (FDI) certification, meaning it was received by NGC within 24 hours of its official release.
Even more exclusive is the hand-signed label by Susan Taylor, offering collectors a direct connection to the coin’s legendary designer and Royal Canadian Mint icon.
Limited Mintage – Only 8,000 Worldwide
With only 8,000 coins minted for global distribution—and far fewer receiving the elite PF70 FDI designation with Taylor’s signature—this is not a coin that will linger long in the market. The Peace Dollar has already earned its place as a standout modern series, and this 2025 issue is its most ambitious and collectible yet.
