2024 Canada 1 oz Gold .99999 $200 Peace Dollar Proof (UHR)

Canada has long been associated with the search for a stable and secure international order. This connection began in 1957 when Lester B. Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize. Then Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs, Pearson helped diffuse the Suez Crisis by creating the world’s first, large-scale United Nations peacekeeping force. Over the next 40 years, Canada's contribution in UN peacekeeping becomes an intrinsic part of the country's international role. In 1988, the UN received the Nobel Peace Prize for decades of peacekeeping activities. By then, Canada had contributed roughly 80,000 peacekeepers. Coin Highlights: Contains 1 oz of .99999 fine gold.

Now for 2024 and the series’ 5th issue, the mint is adding selective platinum plating to the 1 oz gold size and selective yellow (24-karat) gold plating to the 1 oz and 5 oz silver sizes. Specially crafted for this issue, an intricate new field pattern with elements from the iconic design can be found arranged on the fields of the obverse and reverse of all three coins in the release. However, that is all overshadowed by the fact that this 5th entry in the series will also be the last annual issue with either the Queen Elizabeth II effigy OR the Susan Taylor, left-facing Peace Bust. For 2025, the RCM will finally roll out their new, Canadian-designed effigy of King Charles for the obverse. And for the reverse? An all-new Lady Peace masterpiece from the legendary Susan Taylor.
