Pièce d'argent vieillie Allégorie de la Liberté 2024 | Monnaie royale canadienne

Cherish this dual-sided tribute to freedom, now crafted entirely in 99.99% silver.

The National War Memorial in Ottawa serves as a striking expression of the hope and heroism exhibited by generations of Canadians who fought, and continue to fight, for the freedoms we hold so dear. Its representation of Freedom inspired this 2024 allegory, which serves as our latest R&D showcase of innovation. The follow-up to 2023’s Allegory of Peace, this coin with a double-sided 3D figure is now entirely cast in 99.99% pure silver—a higher purity level than the 2023 edition, whose allegory was cast in .999 fine silver. Visible on the coin’s obverse and reverse, the inspirational 3D figure is plated with gold to radiate hope and optimism, as Freedom holds up the torch that lights the way forward.

The companion piece to 2023’s Allegory of Peace.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS

• A tribute to freedom. Inspired by the allegorical figure atop the National War Memorial in Ottawa, this coin is a tribute to freedom—a value treasured by Canadians—and honours those who have served our country, and those who continue to help advance freedom and peace around the world.
• A showcase of the Mint's innovation. At the core of this 99.99% pure silver coin is a highly intricate, gold-plated 3D allegory cast in 99.99% pure silver and resembling fine metal openwork.
• New for 2024: A pure silver upgrade. While the 2023 Allegory of Peace coin featured a dual-sided allegory cast in .999 fine silver, we have raised the bar in 2024 by casting this personification of freedom in 99.99% pure silver to provide superior quality and craftsmanship, and a higher purity level.
• The perfect pairing. Your Allegory of Freedom coin is the perfect companion piece to 2023’s Allegory of Peace, and both pieces were inspired by the two allegorical figures found at the apex of the National War Memorial in Ottawa.
• Limited mintage. Only 1,400 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.

PACKAGING

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.

GOLD PLATING

The allegory is plated with gold, which contrasts beautifully with the coin’s antique finish. Careful hand polishing resulted in a high shine that emphasizes the finest details.

A DUAL-SIDED DESIGN

The obverse is a continuation of the reverse design, thus providing a 360-degree view of the allegorical figure.

DID YOU KNOW?

Unveiled 85 years ago, in 1939, the National War Memorial was designed by British sculptor Vernon March, whose siblings helped complete the monument’s bronze figures after his untimely death in 1930.

Inspired by the Liberty bronze figure on the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario, the coin’s double-sided design by artist Rebecca Yanovskaya features a gold-plated 3D allegorical figure of Freedom cast in 99.99% pure silver. Riding on the back of a mythical bird that carries Freedom wherever she is needed, the figure holds a torch high to light the way forward. The allegory is set in the antiqued rim (also 99.99% silver), while on the coin’s outer rim, a scroll is paired with olive branches and maples leaves signifying Canada’s contributions to peace and freedom. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
