Coin Designs
• The words "Canada" and the commemorative dates "1867–2017" are engraved on all the coins below, along with the Canada 150 logo
• The obverse on each coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt

Special-Edition Proof Dollar Design
Here the background features an engraved micro-pattern of thousands of maple leaves that are curved to create the feeling that the coin is a globe, along with a map of Canada to bring the focus on our nation. Engraved above it is the number "150"; its large size conveys the significance of this milestone year, while the application of red colour echoes that of our nation's flag.
• Artist: Jamie Desrochers

Two-Dollar Design
"Dance of the Spirits" celebrates the wonders of Canada with a design featuring the spectacular aurora borealis. The coin depicts paddlers gliding across a placid lake under the shimmering curtain of the Northern Lights, which the Cree peoples called "the dance of the spirits."
• Artist: Timothy Hsia

Loon-Style Dollar Design
"Connecting a Nation" pays tribute to Sir John A. Macdonald's vision of a national railway to unite the country, and celebrates the skill and drive that made that vision real through the steam age into the diesel era. It also features impressive landmarks along the country's rail routes, from the Lion's Gate Bridge in British Columbia to the Grand Banks of the East Coast.
• Artist: Wesley Klassen

50-Cent Design
This coin Bears the official Canada 150 logo of a maple leaf mosaic, which represents Confederation. The tie that binds these coins is this logo; its mosaic of 13 triangular shapes—one for each province and territory—evokes memories of the 1967 emblem.
• Artist: Jamie Desrochers

25-Cent Design
"Hope for a Green Future" features a pair of hands bringing life to a plant that connects all living things, and also features some notable Canadian animals.
• Artist: Joelle Wong

10-Cent Design
An airborne maple leaf forms the wings and tail of a dove delicately outlined beneath it. Like the olive branch, the Canadian maple leaf has become a worldwide symbol of hope, peace and good faith.
• Artist: Amy Choi

Five-Cent Design
This unique design features a beaver in the traditional style of the northeastern woodland tribes of the Algonkian people. The beaver has long been the traditional emblem on Canada's five-cent coins, but its power as a symbol of the land we share goes back thousands of years, deeply connected to the heritage of Indigenous people.
