About
Peace and Freedom: An allegorical tribute, now in a pure gold.
NEW for 2026, the multidimensional Allegory of Peace and Freedom is given the gold treatment, transforming its powerful symbolism into a finely crafted work of art minted in 99.99% pure gold.
Smaller yet more finely detailed than its fine silver counterpart, this gold coin features the side-by-side allegories of Peace and Freedom—the two inseparable ideals that crown the arch of Canada’s National War Memorial—accented with a delicate bough of poppies, laurel and maple leaves. Each line is meticulously engraved, giving this piece a portrait-like intimacy.
NEW! A rare allegorical ode in a pure gold format.
Special features
- All-gold allegories. Our fine silver Multidimensional Allegory coin is reimagined as a fully engraved 1 oz. 99.99% pure gold portrait—a new format for 2026! Its design honours the allegorical spirit of Canada’s National War Memorial, bringing peace and freedom together in a refined, symbolic form.
- A complementary piece. The adaptation from silver cast to gold engraving was more than a material shift: it required thoughtful adjustments to ensure the composition and details were beautifully translated (and even enhanced) to this scale and medium.
- Symbolic flourishes. Echoing the National War Memorial in spirit, the boughs and stone motif reflect the enduring ideals of peace and freedom for which so many gave their lives.
- A notable anniversary. This coin tribute to “PAX ET LIBERTAS” (“Peace and Freedom”) arrives a century (1926) after the model submitted by British sculptor Vernon March was selected as the winning design concept for Canada’s National War Memorial.
- Grow your collection of allegories. Available in this new 99.99% pure gold format, and as a fine silver multidimensional piece, Allegories of Peace and Freedom joins a growing line-up of Canadian allegorical-themed coins.
- Numismatic rarity. Just 275 coins are available worldwide.
- Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- No GST/HST.
Packaging
Your coin comes encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded, black lacquered wood case protected by a black beauty box.
Features
Extra care and craftsmanship
The process for transforming 3D figures into a complete work of art in a smaller (30 mm), more traditional 2D coin format took extra time and care, but the result is a piece that feels both timeless and intentional.
