About
Inspired by the Iron Ring: Honouring achievement, celebrating promise.
The moment they receive their Iron Ring, Canada’s engineering graduates step into a legacy of integrity, innovation and responsibility. That century-old symbol of professional obligation inspired our own engineering feat in 2025, when we introduced a coin with an edge and rim shaped like the Iron Ring. Returning in 2026, it celebrates the profession while also marking a milestone for new graduates, serving as a keepsake that honours the vocation and captures the bright promise of the future they are about to build.
Where engineering dedication meets tradition.

Honouring Canada’s engineers, the reverse design by artist Pandora Young celebrates the innovation and achievements of the field, represented through stylized elements inspired by different fields of engineering (clockwise from top): a computer screen with a robotic hand, set against an AI-inspired dot design; a wire gauge; the chemical diagram for insulin partially shown; a test tube and dropper; a hand holding a pencil; a spur gear next to a compass and the tip of a protractor; a soldering iron; a computer chip; and at the centre, the word “CANADA” appears in blueprint lettering. The raised rim is uniquely shaped to resemble the Iron Ring worn by Canadian engineers as a symbol of professional obligation. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
